Around the Horn...

It's Sunday and time for a little trip around the horn:

Feeling dissatisfied w/ your war coverage? Are you wondering what info has fallen through the bias cracks?

Greyhawk over at NoEndButVictory.com has it all for you. There's stuff about the Iraqi Army getting stronger, the totally unreported Koa Canyon offensive, the deepening rift between al Qaeda and the insurgent elements and a rebuttal to the deeply partisan report which seemed to get a lot of air and ink - that one about the army being stretched to a breaking point. (I could make a snide remark about the Clinton administration here - but hey, it's Sunday.)

It's Sunday and time for the funnies - unless you are a Muslim that is.

Brussels Journal gives us the update on the Religion of Peace's total lack of humor when it comes to cartoons. For a quick guide to what is okay and what is not:

This cartoon by a Muslim is okay (note the bowl of blood in Mary's hands):
This cartoon by a Dhimmi is not okay:

Regime Change Iran has the latest on the striking bus drivers. If they aren't being shot, they're being rounded up and arrested. They are arresting their wives too and threatening their safety if the drivers don't go back to work today. In other unreported news, the post goes on to cite Senator Rick Santorum's letter to the State Department asking them to intervene on the drivers behalf. Who knew?

Also in Iran, another bomb rocks Oil City of Ahvaz. This from News.com.au

A PERCUSSION bomb exploded in the restive southwestern Iranian oil city of Ahvaz yesterday but caused no injuries, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Update: More trouble in Iranian Paradise? This from SCCDI:

Fire forced the closure of the Navab Metro Station in the Iranian Capital. The incident which is believed to be an act of arson took place today and on the same day that many of Tehran's Collective Bus drivers observed a protest action.

Official sources have attributed the fire to a short circuit but curiously the same motif was used in order to justify the burning of a collective bus, happened the day before, in southern Tehran.

There is additional info on the fate of the striking bus drivers as well:

Many of the strikers and their family members, estimated at more than 1000 individuals, have been injured or arrested by brutal militiamen. The fate of many of the arrested activists is unknown and some have been transferred to section 240 of the infamous Evin Political Jail located in North Tehran.
