...members of Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines, are creeping through the mean streets of Iraq's meanest town when their mission comes in. Intelligence officers at the Marines' headquarters at Firm Base One, at the edge of Fallujah, have zeroed in on an insurgent: a local teacher named Taufiq Latif Saleh, suspected of being the leader of a 10-person bombmaking cell. Fox Company hits two "dry" houses before they find Saleh, a burly, bearded man in a grimy dishdasha. "I am a teacher! I am a teacher!" he protests as the Marines march him out into the courtyard...

When the Marines of Fox Company set out for a night patrol, supporters of the insurgency announce the Americans' movements through the loudspeakers of city mosques.

But as both a typically dedicated Harvard student and a longtime performer, Lauren L. Jackson ’07 manages to defy the odds...
...gratuitousness and absurdity can produce a show that is gratuitous and absurd. And sometimes they can produce a show that is simply addictive and highly viewable, somehow rising above its own ridiculousness. “Prison Break” fits the latter bill. In the past two episodes alone, Fox River Penitentiary inmates and Fox Network viewers have seen a tabby cat executed, a molested teenager hang himself, Secret Service operatives gun down a pair of suburban step-parents, a guard hump a secretary in the break room (to table-shaking effect), and a mobster get stabbed...
