MEMO To: Condi; Cc: Jack; SUBJECT: While you were out

(thanks to juan cole...)

In a macabre harvest, 42 bodies were found in various places in Iraq on Saturday, killed in night-time sectarian reprisals.

AP counts another 19 killed in separate incidents in Baghdad, Basra and elsewhere. In Basra, a Sunni cleric was killed. On Friday evening a minibus full of Shiites was shot up, with 5 deaths.

The price of fuel in Iraq has gone way up.
