Iraqi government kidnapped

In a sign of how well things are going in Iraq, the government was kidnapped yesterday:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Gunmen wearing Iraqi police commando uniforms kidnapped up to 150 staff and visitors in a lightning raid on a government research institute in downtown Baghdad on Tuesday, the largest mass abduction since the start of the U.S. occupation.

I was surprised when I went to my travel consultant the other day that they didn't have any packaged tours of Iraq available. My gosh. I thought everybody wanted to visit the hanging gardens. And, shucks, I'm too old to get the free tour the U.S. Army is offering.
