Baghdad's Bloody Wednesday, ABC's Jim Sciutto reminded us, was back in August when coordinated bombs killed more than 120 people. Its Bloody Sunday was in October when a pair of busbombs killed 155. Now five explosions hit government ministry buildings, a mosque and a college, leaving almost 130 dead: "Iraqis are already calling today Bloody Tuesday." ABC's Sciutto and CBS' Elizabeth Palmer both narrated videotape of the carnage from each network's London bureau. Palmer called the scene "depressingly familiar." NBC mentioned the mayhem only in passing. CBS anchor Katie Couric asked Gen Raymond Odierno why Iraqi security forces were not more successful at stopping the carbombs. "In two cases," he answered, "actually they were stopped at police checkpoints. Unfortunately one of the bombs went off."
