this is perfect- got winning heartz and minds? The military said troops conducted a raid "without incident" and detained a person it called "a high-level rogue" militia leader -- a commander of the Mehdi Army in western Karbala. The Mehdi Army is the militia of anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. But trouble started when attackers fired small arms, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades at departing U.S. and Iraqi troops, the military said. The U.S. and Iraqi forces killed five attackers in the firefight that followed, the military said. A helicopter that was called in to help also came under fire, it said. "U.S. Special Forces called in precision aerial fires that resulted in approximately a dozen insurgents killed. No Iraqi civilians were present in the area while the strike was performed," the military said. cnn.com

Time for you to join the program, it's a happenin' organization -- Report says astronauts flew drunk 1 minute ago NASA let astronauts fly drunk on at least two occasions, an independent panel said in a report released Friday. The report gave no names and did not say when the drinking occurred, how many astronauts were involved, or whether they were flying on the space shuttle, the Russian Soyuz spaceship, or aboard NASA's training airplanes. NASA officials let them fly even after flight surgeons and fellow astronauts raised concerns that flight safety might be jeopardized, according to the report, done by a panel created by NASA after the arrest of astronaut Lisa Nowak in February on charges she tried to kidnap her rival in a love triangle. In a statement Friday, NASA said the panel has not given the space agency details of the allegations. "As a result, NASA must independently determine the facts of the reported incidents," the space agency said. The panel said that astronauts and flight surgeons told the committee about heavy drinking by crew members just before flights. Also, the panel said alcohol is freely used in the crew quarters, where astronauts are quarantined at the Kennedy Space Center in the three days before launch. Only three paragraphs of the 12-page report dealt with alcohol use by astronauts. news.yahoo.com
