Richard Formica, dated November 8, 2004, but withheld by the Pentagon until now, examined in the wake of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal the treatment of detainees in Iraq by U.S. special operations troops.

Murder/Suicide: A young mother jumped off the Victory Bridge in Perth Amboy, N.J., late Friday morning clutching her baby daughter, the authorities said. The woman survived the plunge into the Raritan River, but the child died. Relatives and friends of Contreras said Friday that she had been upset since the weekend, when she confronted a woman they said was seeing her daughter’s father. “It could be she was trying to get back at him, or maybe it was that she was just stressed out,” said a friend and next-door neighbor, Jessica Colon, 25. Yeah, I know when I'm "stressed out" nothing calms me more than murdering innocent 14-month-old girls. (HNT)
