Damn it! Where's all that good news?

Six car bombs exploded on Monday, killing at least six people and wounding dozens, as politicians met to try to finalise a new cabinet.

Police discovered bodies of 17 Iraqis - apparent victims of sectarian killings the United States hoped the new government could end.

Police said that elsewhere, in Baghdad and other areas, a roadside bomb, two drive-by shootings and a mortar round killed six other Iraqis.

On Sunday, at least three US soldiers and 31 Iraqis were killed, and the country's largest Sunni Arab party raised new allegations of sectarian killings - one of the most urgent issues facing the new leadership.
