Marla and Faiz killed by car bomb in Iraq
“Marla Ruzicka, founder of the Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict (CIVIC) and her Iraqi co-worker Faiz were killed by an exploding car bomb on Saturday. She was in Iraq working to help document the number of civilians killed and injured by the war and to assist their families in applying for aid payments from the U.S. Marla had worked in Afghanistan with Global Exchange identifying civilian casualties, and has been active in getting the U.S. to appropriate funds for the families of war victims.”

And this is a funny site, about the original Nigerian scams:

“ID theft isn’t funny!” Infecting liberals’ computers with spyware?
Since my sites were down, and I totally forgot about the debate today, I decided to listen to http://www.airamericaradio.com/ and I believe it was Mike Malloy who was doing the “after debate” show.
