Blogger is finally recovered.

Or so it seems. The Blogger site has been out all day.

The big news of the day is that happy occasion of al-Zarquawi's demise. CNN actually has video.

John Robb has an interesting post about the event, and the meaning of Zarquawi in general. Short version - Zarquawi was more venture capitalist than general or cult leader. RTWT. It provides a lot of perspective about the nature of the conflict.
