2 The police and Sadr's bullet magnets were on the same side. Wonder how many Sunnis "insurgents" bought the farm.

3 I read this report as saying: IP and Sadr's militia fighting Ba'athists/AQ, and 19 on the Shi'ite side dead.

10 Sounds like the Shia malitia were acting on behalf of, or with the police and got their butt kicked by the Sunnis, bad business.

11 Really doesn't sound right. Too one-sided. There has to be more to this.
