A Plague of Badgers
Coffeespy HQ actually has no pictures that can possibly do this story justice. From the BBC:
British forces have denied rumours that they released a plague of ferocious badgers into the Iraqi city of Basra.
As much as I love a good militant gorilla, a warbadger might give them a run for their money.
Another rumor circulating amongst the cultured Iraqis we're attempting to help is the ability of the Americans to see through burkas. Sometimes I wonder how they keep from falling to their knees and worshipping the rising sun some days. From CNN:
As an American soldier peered out of a passing tank, a young engineering student and a retired accountant contemplated one of the more common questions on the streets of Baghdad: Did the soldier's wraparound sunglasses give him X-ray vision?
"With those glasses, he can definitely see through women's clothes," said the engineering student, Samer Hamid. "It makes me angry. We are afraid to take our families out on the street."
For once, I'm left speechless.

Oh, the X-Ray glasses are old news; there were ads for those in comic books in the 1960s! I’m just surprise it took DoD this long to order them!
