* BAGHDAD-IRAQ - You might hear the liars tell you that things in Iraq aren't going that bad or that this folly is even - ahem- winnable.
August was the 2nd-deadliest month of the entire 4-year-plus fiasco- with around 1800 Iraqis dead.
Ah okay- I see- it could have been the WORST month- but it wasn't. Spin on....

* KABUL-AFGHANISTAN - While "scores of Afghan insurgents are killed" according to this report- no mention of the scores of youth ready to take the dead insurgents' places.

* OAKLAND-CA - Oakland Catholics will soon be moving into their new $190-million digs - while certain agnostics wonder how many people $190-million might have fed- clothed and housed "in the name of God."

* DURHAM-NC - The former prosecutor who tried to railroad the Duke lacrosse players on bogus rape charges- Mike Nifong- will himself get the opportunity to become some inmate's girlfriend in jail.
