41 to zero. Sounds good to me. I bet these guys didn't get a lawyer either.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, May 6 — American troops moved into the southern city of Najaf and recaptured the governor's office, posing the most aggressive challenge yet to a radical Shiite cleric who has led a monthlong resistance. The action came as the top American administrator, L. Paul Bremer III, appointed an Iraqi governor to Najaf and promised a restoration of American-backed security to the city.

In a separate action, American troops killed 41 members of a militia loyal to the Shiite cleric, Moktada al-Sadr, in a clash in Kufa, to the east of Najaf. There were no American casualties in that firefight, the American military official said.

And then there was this the other day:

BAGHDAD, Iraq, May 4 — Representatives of Iraq's most influential Shiite leaders met here on Tuesday and demanded that Moktada al-Sadr, a rebel Shiite cleric, withdraw militia units from the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala, stop turning the mosques there into weapons arsenals and return power to Iraqi police and civil defense units that operate under American control......

Several Shiite leaders acknowledged that they had delayed issuing their statement until there were clear signs that public opinion among Shiites had moved strongly against Mr. Sadr. Reports in the past two weeks have spoken of a shadowy death squad calling itself the Thulfiqar Army shooting dead at least seven of Mr. Sadr's militiamen in Najaf, and several thousand people attended an anti-Sadr protest meeting outside the Imam Ali shrine in the city on Friday, according to several of the meeting's participants.

What happened to the media howling over our failures in Najaf and how all Iraqis and all Shiites and all Arabs are rallying around our enemies? I guess they have a new tragedy of the week to focus on.
