NYT’s: Blackwater Shot Our Dog

I’m one of those dog-loving people that gets irrationally upset anytime anything bad happens to a dog. But I still found this funny:

The U.S. embassy in Iraq is investigating another deadly shooting incident involving its Blackwater bodyguards — this time of the New York Times’s dog.

Staff at the newspaper’s Baghdad bureau said Blackwater bodyguards shot Hentish dead last week before a visit by a U.S. diplomat to the Times compound.

On a positive note, I’m back from the hospital and everything went well. It was a long day, but the result is what counts. What’d I miss?
