Iraq

(AirForceTimes) "An Iraqi air force colonel who fled from Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., where he was in training, is the subject of a wide-reaching manhunt, according to federal officials."

(WaPo) "The U.S. military's faulty war plans and insufficient troops in Iraq left thousands and possibly millions of tons of conventional munitions unsecured or in the hands of insurgent groups after the 2003 invasion.....Some weapons sites remained vulnerable as recently as October 2006."

(Bloomberg) Pre-War Assumptions Led to Flawed Iraq Plan, U.S. Report Says

(Reliefweb) Three US soldiers killed. Not a headline anywhere.

(TPM) House liberals back off and agree to support the deadline setting Iraq funding bill. (Notice the Lynne Woolsey quote. Quite a change from what she said earlier in the day on Democracy Now.)

And, don't miss the very blunt threat from the Turks about attacking the Kurds in Northern Iraq.
