"Support Your Local Gunfighter is the best thing to happen to law enforcement since Vic Mackey."

    The idiotic opinions expressed here are mine and mine alone, and in no way reflect the views of the Philadelphia Police Department. I mean, if they did, this town would be in a heap of trouble, right?

Al-Sadr Aide Assassinated In Iraq

Oh damn, that's a shame.

BAGHDAD - Gunmen assassinated a top aide of anti-American leader Muqtada al-Sadr on Friday, sharpening a Shiite power struggle that has already triggered fighting between the cleric's followers and the U.S.-backed Iraqi government.

Riyadh al-Nouri, director of al-Sadr's office in Najaf, was gunned down by an unknown number assailants near his home after returning from prayer services, police and Sadrist officials said.

Al-Sadr blamed the Americans and their Iraqi allies for the killing but called for calm — presumably to avoid a showdown at a time his Mahdi Army militia is under pressure by Iraqi and U.S.-led forces in Baghdad and southern Iraq. (H/T - Yahoo!)

I try not to take pleasure in an event that will escalate the infighting in Iraq, but I have to admit that when I read this article, I giggled a little bit. Okay, I laughed a lot . . . out loud. In my opinion, the death of any member of al-Sadr's movement is good news for Iraq.
