Rebels Massacre 49 Iraqi Guardsmen (washingtonpost.com)

The bodies of 49 freshly trained Iraqi National Guard recruits, lined up and executed by insurgents, were discovered on a roadside about 75 miles northeast of Baghdad, Iraqi officials said Sunday.

Despite regarding our intervention in Iraq as basically misguided, I am shocked and saddened at the fate of these young people whom we recruited but didn't — or coudn't — protect.
