Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.
Blood and ouzo mingled on the sidewalk outside a shattered Baghdad liquor store Thursday after three people died in a car bombing targeting alcohol sellers during the Muslim religious festival of Id al-Adha.
The attack was in one of the heaviest-protected areas of Baghdad, when the alcohol merchants were among the very few plying their trade on a public holiday.
The blast scattered shrapnel and body parts along Sadoun Street, the detritus coming to rest incongruously alongside concrete blast walls brightly painted with tranquil scenes of camels and marshland waterways as part of an American-funded beautification effort.

The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
