Grim news continues to come from Iraq. Today at least 25 people were killed by a suicide bomber in Ramadi. The number of American troops killed since the war began more than four years ago exceeds 3,300. Tony Perry, the San Diego bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, went back two days ago for his fifth tour covering Camp Pendleton Marines in Iraq. He is in Fallujah in the Al Anbahr province. Gloria Penner interviewed him earlier today to discuss, among other things, troop morale.
