At least 50 people have died in attacks across Iraq, including a suicide car bombing in a mainly Shiite town that killed nearly two dozen building labourers looking for work.

The violence erupted Sunday as Foreign Minister Walid Muallem of neighbouring Syria began a landmark visit to Baghdad -- the first since the toppling of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in 2003.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
