Renee and Tyler Ziegel Divorce
Politics Buzz An inspiring love story ends in divorce. She nursed her injured Marine to health and married him despite the fact that his face was completely disfigured by the blast from a suicide bomber. Now they are getting divorced.

LaVena Johnson
Culture Buzz When the body of the Private First Class was returned to her parents in Missouri from Iraq, LaVena Johnson's father called bullsh*t on the Army's claim that her death was the result of a suicide. Footage clearly indicates that, in reality, Johnson was likely beaten, raped and murdered (in fact, a trail of blood was photographed outside her tent). The Army, however, has refused to provide further information regarding the case, proving that, even in an "army of one," it's not hard for a soldier to be easily forgotten if she isn't a white male (or, better yet, a star football player).

Generation Kill
TV Buzz An HBO miniseries brings us a new view of war. It seems like a no-brainer that this will be great: The book it's based on is one of the best accounts of the early days of the Iraq War, Evan Wright's "Generation Kill," and David "I Made the F*cking Wire" Simon is at the helm.

Battle For Haditha
Movie Buzz Nick Broomfield's movie about one corner of the Iraq War finally comes to the U.S. The Haditha killings were one of the worst civilian casualty incidents of the war -- 24 men, women and children were killed by a group of Marines after a roadside bombing, though all charges against the soldiers involved were dropped after an investigation.

Mocking Muqtada al-Sadr
Politics Buzz Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice makes headlines for calling the Iraqi cleric a coward. During a visit to Baghdad, Rice made fun of al-Sadr for comfortably hiding out in Iran while the fighting continues in Iraq, saying, "I guess that's the message; his followers can go to their deaths and he's in Iran." It's finally her own Bring 'Em On moment in the sun.
