I'm crossreferncing these two LBN stories:

Bush poised to axe Iraq ruling council

with this story from the Washington Post from earlier today:

U.S.-Appointed Iraqi Council Leader Killed

<snip>
Iraqis marched in anger through the streets here Monday after the killing of an American-appointed local Iraqi council leader by U.S. military guards under disputed circumstances.

The council was appointed by U.S. authorities here to help govern Sadr City, an impoverished, largely Shiite section of Baghdad with a population of about 2 million people. American troops guard the council offices.

The council leader, Muhammed Kaabi, was approaching the council offices in a car Sunday.

American authorities and local witnesses agreed that he got into some sort of argument with soldiers who wanted to search the car he was driving. They agreed as well that at some point he got out of his car.

They disagree about what happened next, however. A U.S. spokesman here said the victim went for the weapon of one of the American guards and was shot by a second soldier in response.

So now we're killing the Council leaders that we appointed right?
This qualify as another "Sucess" story of winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people??? So how many more "sucesses" like this can we afford?

1. Don't think he is an Iraqi Congress council member? He is not on the list

2. Not the Governing Council but a member of a local council.

These things happen during a Holy War.
