Joe Klein: Redefining "Good News"

Klein, yesterday:

There is good news from Iraq, believe it or not. It comes from the most unlikely place: Anbar province, home of the Sunni insurgency.


Anbar province, today:

FALLUJA, Iraq, May 24 (Reuters) - At least 27 people were killed and dozens wounded on Thursday when a suicide bomber in a car packed with explosives drove into a crowd of mourners at a funeral in Falluja, west of Baghdad, police said. The U.S. military confirmed that a body pulled from the Euphrates River south of Baghdad on Wednesday was one of three U.S. soldiers missing since their patrol was ambushed on May 12. The military said thousands of troops were continuing to scour farmlands for the other two missing soldiers. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack in Falluja in Iraq's restive western Anbar province, but police said the funeral was being held for a local businessman opposed to Sunni Islamist al Qaeda.


You're right, Joe. I don't believe you.
