[C. G. Estabrook]

[I posted this story yesterday and have just seen this follow-up (from

    "You can't do anything to the coalition. What happened is history."
    - an Iraqi judge, speaking to the family of Iraqi scientist Mohammed
Munim al-Izmerly, murdered in U.S. "custody"...

A search of Google and Yahoo news at this time reveals not a single U.S.
media outlet has picked up this story.
