Glad to hear that. How much of SSI is taxable now? Assuming there is other income. Is SS Disability taxed at the same rate?

BAGHDAD -- Four American soldiers were killed Tuesday in roadside bomb attacks in Iraq amid a spike in violence in the last month, the U.S. military announced.

Iraqi authorities also announced Tuesday that 29 members of the Iraqi security force were arrested and charged with negligence in relation to the Aug. 19 spate of bombings that left almost 100 people dead in Baghdad.

Three of the American soldiers were killed in northern Iraq after a bomb targeting their patrol detonated around 11:40 a.m. Tuesday, the U.S. military said. The fourth soldier was killed in Baghdad when his patrol was targeted in the southern part of the capital around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Their names are being withheld pending notification of family members, the U.S. military said.

Separately at a news conference on Tuesday, Baghdad security command spokesman Maj. Gen. Qasim al-Mousawi said 29 army and police officers who were responsible for security around the ministries of foreign affairs and finance were detained because of "clear negligence" related to the Aug. 19 attacks near those facilities.

The biggest blasts that day targeted the foreign-affairs ministry and drove the number of Iraqi violent deaths to the highest level since July 2008, according to government figures.
