The word of the day that needs to be changed is "insurgent." I suggest "rebel" instead. Then you can even write things like "what a catastrophe that the Iraqi rebels are killing their own people" and really make people think. Like, "now where did they learn that trick?"
Also, at the risk of being a blog hog, I want to propose that Senator Rockefeller be asked whether the US has or plans to introduce WMD (nuclear missiles and bombs) into Iraq and target them at China and India. Rockefeller is one of the gang of eight still entitled to get straight answers, so he seems the right one to ask.
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars
