The U.S. military said Monday five of its soldiers were killed and two others were injured in separate incidents in Iraq on Sunday.

Three of the deaths were not combat-related, Kuwait's KUNA news agency reported.

In Baghdad, gunmen opened fire on the motorcade of Iraq's minister of agriculture, killing one of his bodyguards and injuring another, CNN reported.

Security officials said 21 bodies had been found scattered around the city on Sunday, most of which showed signs of torture.

Sectarian fighting between Shiite and Sunni Muslims has plagued the Iraqi government's attempts at reconstruction for more than 14 months.

About 60 miles from Baghdad in Muqdadiya, a New York Times correspondent said sectarian fighting turned to arson during the weekend. As many as 100 homes and other buildings were torched, the report said.

Victims from both sects blamed Sunni extremists who have taken over several towns in the area and are demanding protection money, the report said. (c) UPI

Sectarian violence has kept the number of attacks on US troops down as insurgents have to allocate resources, time, and manpower to fighting each other. So, in other words, the US occupation benefits from this violence and is more than likely responsible for many of these "Car bombs".

BAC was busy defending the use of white phosphorus and DU, so he asked me to handle his response to you.

So typical of you, Burqaman, to resort to innuendo and slander against our troops when you have no evidence of wrongdoing. You have no evidence that Negroponte ordered Shia death squads to operate against Sunni. It was just a coincidence that Blackbridge went to Iraq and Iraq went to hell. And the rumors about the "Salvador option" are baseless slanders that have unjustly and tragically kept Negroponte from enjoying vacations in Central America for years. While you hide behind your keyboard and smugly ask "cui bono?", our brave troops are fighting and dying and playing video games in the holy ground of American sacrifice. Why do you hate America?

How's that, BAC? This time, I don't want to hear about a pipeline or a backlog; I want that check in my mailbox tomorrow.

Has he really tried to defend this?

... when its use will save the life of our soldiers.

Oh, those on the War Crime missions - those soldiers?

Considering the Geneva Conventions, is it okay for our soldiers to be attacked with these same weapons - including cluster-bombs?

Well ......?

BAC is saying now that DU is harmless so I guess we don't have to worry about DU anymore.

No Diana, that is not what I said. I posted what HEALTH PHYSICISTS believe. They are the experts in such matters. Just like structural engineers are the experts in building collapses. If you choose to ignore their experience, education and wisdom, it is no skin off my back. But I sure wish you wouldn't post falsehoods like the above to folks (like robin) who have bozo'd themselves from my side of the conversation because then they will be further misinformed.

You don't have to be a health physicist to know the properties of uranium or depleted uranium.

That is a fact.

Many chemists, physicists, biologists, phyicians and others have a very good understanding of the effects of all forms of uranium on living organisms.

They are the experts when it comes to the effects of radiation and radioactive materials on people. Just like structural engineers are the experts when it comes to collapse of buildings. Which is why it's hard to believe a conspiracy theory where so few (if any) of the many health physicists (or structural engineers) in the world are supporters. Can you name any, Diana?

Again, health physicists are not the only ones who know about the properties of uranium. Have you ever heard of a field called industrial hygeine?

If I'm not mistaken, health physicist is a relatively new field (or term), and the properties of uranium have been known for a long, long time.

Properties of atoms and even many molecules have been esbablished long ago. As I said there are many reference books where such information can be found.

Another "neo" something or other? Why have I grown cynical of that prefix?
