Baghdad's deputy police chief and his son, also a police officer, were killed on their way to work Monday -- the latest in a series of assassinations. CTV News has it here.

Reading Michelle Malkin's blog this morning I noticed a piece on John Roberts - Canadians know him from his excellent record here in Canada reporting the news.

Let's just sit here and enjoy the peace and quiet." Michelle gives this Link to John's bio.
