1. That liberal media

Why don't they report on the dozens of people in Baghdad who weren't killed today? The Associated Press obviously is in bed with the terrorists.

3. AFP-Rebels kill 13 Iraqis as US accused on rights abuse

BAGHDAD (AFP) - At least 13 people were killed in a series of bombings and shootings across Iraq as US-led coalition forces were accused of widespread human rights abuses in the strife-torn country.

Amid the violence, Iraq's President Jalal Talabani announced that parliament would hold its inaugural meeting on March 12 -- nearly three months after the general elections.

In the bloodiest attack, six Iraqis were killed and 27 wounded, including policemen, when a car bomb exploded against a police patrol in a market in the centre of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, police said.

The mixed town of Baquba, 60 kilometres (35 miles) from the capital, has been targeted by nearly daily bomb attacks for several weeks.
