BREAKING NEWS: TRUCK BOMB KILLS 70 AND WOUNDS 200 IN NORTHERN IRAQ
A truck bomb exploded as worshippers left a Shiite mosque in northern Iraq on Saturday, killing more than 70 people and wounding nearly 200 in the deadliest bombing this year.
SOURCE: http://tinyurl.com/nkrwjy
The blast near Kirkuk — a city rife with ethnic tensions — came hours after the prime minister warned Iraqis to expect more violence as U.S. troops withdraw from Iraqi cities by the end of this month, but he insisted the deadline will be met “no matter what happens.”
The Americans already have begun pulling back combat troops from inner-city outposts in Baghdad, Mosul and other urban areas ahead of the June 30 deadline set in a security pact that calls for a full U.S. withdrawal from Iraq by 2012.
But continued assassinations and high-profile explosions have heightened concerns that Iraqi forces are not ready to take over their own security.

DRAMATIC VIDEO FROM FOB OPERATING BASE IN AFGHANISTAN
The American public are being deprived of ever seeing what our troops are going through in Afghanistan because the mainstream media no longer covers the war in Afghanistan. This video shows what our troops are doing at a small FOB (Forward Operating Base) not far from Kabul in the Afghanistan mountains. It's just a damn shame the mainstream press in U.S. has collectively decided these young men and women in our military are not worth even a snippet of reporting.

This is a fantastic video which captures how our GIs feel on deployment to Iraq. Some of them are experiencing their second and third tours of Iraq and they explain what it is like to the "newbies." This video doesn't dance around the topic of deployment to Iraq and producer Casey J. Porter does a super job of capturing it all on film.

WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTS BLACKWATER OVERPAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR WORK IN IRAQ
Audit Finds That U.S. Overpaid Blackwater
By YOCHI J. DREAZEN
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
http://tinyurl.com/n2taqo
WASHINGTON -- A government audit found that the State Department overpaid the contract-security firm once known as Blackwater Worldwide by tens of millions of dollars because the company failed to properly staff its teams in Iraq.
The report didn't identify any specific security breaches, but it said the State Department should have withheld at least $55 million in payments to the company because of the shortfalls.
The audit by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction and the State Department's Inspector General said the firm didn't employ enough guards, medics, marksmen and dog handlers to fully man the teams, which were responsible for protecting the U.S. ambassador to Iraq and other high-level officials.
The failure to consistently field the right numbers of guards endangered the U.S. officials whom the company was being paid to protect, the report concluded.
"We believe the full manning of protective details is important to the safety of the principal being protected, as well as to the members of the protective details," the audit noted. "Insufficient manning exposed the department to unnecessary risk."
The audit also found that Blackwater, which this year changed its name to Xe, sometimes overcharged for airfare to and from Iraq and failed to properly account for some equipment received from the U.S. government.
