Four more US troops have been killed by roadside bombs in Baghdad as Squinty McSquirtgun "gets on with his life" on his five-week vacation.




Candlelight vigils calling for an end to the war have begun
"This war has been disgraceful, with trumped-up reasons. There were no weapons of mass destruction and the Iraqis didn't have anything to do with 9-11."

More than 1,600 vigils lit up the night Wednesday as groups came together across the nation - near Philadelphia's Independence Hall, outside the New Hampshire statehouse, on a bridge linking Minneapolis and St. Paul, on the courthouse steps in Hackensack, NJ, in Charleston, W.Va., in Ithaca, NY's DeWitt Park, in NYC, in Hermosa Beach, CA, and in Boston. A large vigil was even planned in Paris.
