My job sure does suck sometimes, but at least it's the State Department's job to write the press response to this:

30 Beheaded Bodies Found; Iraqi Death Squads Blamed (NYT) Man, and this right after our 'Iraq needs to learn development lessons from the rest of the developing world' conference with the World Bank. Next time, I'm totally heading up the 'expcept for Latin America component. It'll come right after the Haitian-themed lunch of bananas, mangos, and DOOM!

EDIT: On the other hand, there's always the temptation to put something like this out:
Rumsfeld: Iraqis Now Capable Of Conducting War Without U.S. Assistance
Onion | "Critics of this war who said we couldn't inspire the Iraqi people to stand up and fight for themselves have been proven wrong," Rumsfeld said, gesturing toward a map displaying conflict across the entire nation.
