Good News
First, the death count in Wednesday's bombing of the Baghdad hotel has been lowered from 27 to 17.
Second, there's been another car bombing of a hotel, this time in Basra. 5 Iraqi civilians were killed. Not that that's good news, but what happened afterwards is.
The owner of the car that exploded had been seen parking the vehicle and walking away moments before the blast, according to witnesses. Residents detained him and handed him over to police.
I suspect we'll be seeing more of this....increasing cooperation from the Iraqi citizens as they increasingly become targets of the desperate last gasps of the old regime.
