"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Iraqi, Kurdish border tensions mount- Al-Akhbar

Iraq's central government and the country's autonomous Kurdistan region have each sent troops to reinforce their internal border as tension builds between them in a feud over land and oil.
 
US officials were in contact on Tuesday with Iraqi and Kurdish leaders to ease tensions and the area, Tuz Khurmato, 170 kilometers (105 miles) north of Baghdad, appeared stable for now, according to Iraqi security and Kurdish sources.
 
A spokesman for the commander in chief of the Iraqi armed forces described the deployment as a "precautionary measure" and told Reuters the troops were under instruction to exercise the utmost self-restraint to avoid further escalation.
