NYTimes: "Attacks in Iraq Kill at Least 33" -- two different versions:

1st) "BAGHDAD (AP) -- Bombings and shootings killed at least 33 people in Baghdad and surrounding areas on Monday, including a group of high school students on a bus headed for final exams, as violence intensified before a planned withdrawal next week of U.S. troops from urban areas. (snip)

Starting June 30, most of the 133,000 American troops left here will be housed in large bases outside the capital and other cities -- unable to react unless called on for help. The withdrawal is part of an agreement under which all U.S. troops are to leave Iraq by the end of 2011."

2nd)
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Bombings and shootings killed more than 30 people across Iraq on Monday, including high school students on their way to final exams, part of a new round of violence ahead of next week's deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from urban areas.

The attacks pushed the three-day Iraqi death toll over 100, shattering a recent lull and adding fresh doubt to the ability of government forces to protect people without U.S. soldiers by their sides. American combat troops have already begun moving from inner-city outposts to large bases outside Baghdad and other cities.

Overall levels of violence remain low, but Iraqi officials have warned that militants will likely carry out more attacks to erode public confidence in the government as the Americans pull out of cities by June 30 -- the first step toward a full withdrawal from the country by the end of 2011.

"There aren't enough Iraqi army and police and they're ill-equipped to confront the terrorists," said Abdul-Salam Mohammed, a 33-year-old car dealer in the former insurgent stronghold of Baqouba, north of Baghdad. "The pullout is not in our interest at this moment because we are still in the recovery phase and not yet cured."

Friday

33 and the Official Anthrax Suspect Bruce Ivins

Example 1. "He was married to Diane Ivins for 33 years"

Example 2. "These politically convenient diagnoses had not prevented the 62-year-old Ivins from enjoying a distinguished 33 year career with the Department of the Army." (The wiki biography says his career with the military was 18 years. Is this Green essay using the 33 years as a clue to disinfo-- or did they get this from another bogus source?)


Example 3. Ivins had just been immunized against anthrax. .... In his career he had probably received about 33 separate anthrax vaccinations.


Example 4. The whole series of NPR articles on Ivins all have the 33 in the URL:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93374304
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93333658

In several NPR articles on other topics that I checked, there is no 33 in the URL, so this was not a standard URL number for them.
