...When you see a Medal of Honor, you know whatever they went through is pretty horrible. You don't congratulate anyone when you see it.' MARCUS LUTTRELL, the sole surviving member of a Navy seal squad caught in a firefight with the Taliban. On Oct. 22, President Bush awarded the Medal of Honor to the family of Lieut. Michael Murphy, who gave his life to make a radio call for help for his team...
...they’re merely going through the motions to put the final nail in the coffin of their record contract. Either way, it’s irrelevant. From the sub-par album cover to childish song titles like “Dizzy” and “Firefight,” all the variables of a band on its last legs are in place. 2007 may be the year Jimmy Eat World’s name becomes ironically prophetic; the World is achingly close to eating Jimmy, bones and all, and I’m not sure anyone...

A U.S. government report of the incident that first appeared on TIME.com, says that Blackwater guards shot back only...
...many Americans, the Jan. 20 murder of four U.S. soldiers on a deserted road in southern Iraq might sound similar to countless other tragedies in a bloody, brutal war. There was a firefight, which killed another American; a brazen abduction; then a frantic chase leading to a heartless end. And yet from the start, the deaths of the five Americans were also shrouded in mystery. The attack took place in Karbala, a Shi'ite holy city of roughly 1 million people that had been one of the safest in Iraq for U.S. troops. It happened in plain sight of Iraqi...
