- A car bomb exploded on Sunday morning outside Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, wounding at least three people, Iraqi officials said.

Tne Interior Ministry said it could not yet be confirmed if the attack was a suicide bombing. The Health Ministry said at least three people were wounded.

The jail was notorious during Saddam Hussein's rule and has been at the centre of a scandal over the abuse of prisoners by U.S. soldiers.

2. Oh no!!

This really hits home with me.

One of our clients has a 21 yo son who is a guard there.

He was a Marine Reservist who was called up , only needing 11 credits to graduate from College. He has been there over 6 months and they have been worried sick, so I am sure this news will be devastating to them. I hope he is OK and that they find out soon that he is. Can you imagine the fear you would have after hearing this story?

I really could not imagine another war in my lifetime that would make so angry and frustrated. I had hoped we had learned our lesson from Vietnam, but we evidently have not.

6. What the hell's the deal?

Does anybody besides me remember Bush saying he was going to tear this thing down? Why is it still standing?

Jeez; as long as I've lived, I've never seen such incompetent asses.
