NICE AND QUIET IN BAGHDAD WEDNESDAY: ONLY 5 WERE KILLED

We keep hearing from Sen. John McCain, the Bush administration, and their propaganda arm, FAUX NEWS, how remarkably quiet things are in Baghdad. I guess when you have your head stuck in the sand you can't really see what is happening in the Iraqi capitol.

Here is what took place Wednesday morning in Baghdad:

BAGHDAD - Iraqi police say a roadside bomb has killed five people riding minibuses in Baghdad.

An officer says the bomb exploded near a bridge in the mostly Shiite Hurriyah neighborhood around 10 a.m. Wednesday.

He says a woman and 7-year-old boy are among the dead, and at least 10 other people are wounded.

Meanwhile, police say two mortar rounds hit a busy street in the central Baghdad area of Karrada, killing a civilian and wounding five others.

The officers spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns.
