I thought FP Passport had the quote of the week today from the UK military rep in Basra:

We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area.

WTF!?

I liked the follow-on quote from Suad Hassan:

"My husband hurried to shoot it but it was as swift as a deer. It is the size of a dog but his head is like a monkey."

Badger, deer, dog and monkey - a strange beast.
