Reporter Christopher Allbritton, posting early in the morning: "So far, not as much violence as everybody feared. The question is why? Is the insurgency taking a pass on this one? (It's possible. Our sources in the insurgency say the election will make no difference to them, so why expend a lot of energy?)"

Debka is reporting that US troops were very pro-active against the insurgents, and they found 150 explosives belts in Mosul before the elections. This is good news on two fronts: not only did they prevent much carnage, but this kind of capture, together with the news of Zarqawi's lieutenants being arrested, says that the US & Iraqi forces are finally putting together the kind of intelligence network necessary to win a counter-insurgency war.
