More Signs of Trouble in Baghdad

Just when we thought conditions might—just might—get a little bit better in Iraq, we see this new report on the AP wire:

The United States on Tuesday suspended all land travel by U.S. diplomats and other civilian officials throughout Iraq except in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone following a weekend incident involving private security guards in which a number of Iraqi civilians were killed.

That's just great. Now U.S. officials are officially trapped in the Green Zone. So much for Dick Cheney's infamous prediction about U.S. soldiers being "greeted as liberators."

Can you spell "quagmire," Mr. Cheney?
