Newsday.com - Insurgents Kill 22 In Daylight Raids: "Fallujah, Iraq - In broad daylight, scores of gunmen firing mortars and throwing grenades stormed Iraqi security posts in this city yesterday, freeing prisoners while killing at least 22 people, mostly Iraqi police."

I think I'm losing track: is this the fourth, fifth, or even sixth attack this week? The operational tempo and the efficacy (both tactical and political) of the attacks is impresive. And the daring of going after Abizaid himself should call into question any characterization that Iraq is a reasonably secure place.
