And while the media obsesses about a spoiled brat, someone who is trying to change lives for the better gets his family destroyed.

BAGHDAD:
Carloads of attackers descended on a police chief's house northeast of Baghdad at dawn Friday, killing the official's wife, two brothers and 11 guards, and kidnapping three of his children, the police in Diyala Province reported.

The attack outside Baquba, which came when the police chief was not at home, was one of the boldest and bloodiest in months of stepped-up violence around the city, where Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia and affiliated groups have been fighting American and Iraqi forces and local insurgents who have turned against Al Qaeda.

Elsewhere in northern Iraq, bombings struck a Shiite mosque in a town near Kirkuk, killing at least 19 people and wounding 25, the police said.

At least L.A. is safe with Paris back in jail.
