U of Wisconsin strikes again?

The southern Iraqi city of Basra is being victimized by a plague of ferocious badgers, which some residents claim have been released into the area by British troops.

The Brits, with typical stiff upper lip, have categorically denied any involvement.

The animals, which have been identified as honey badgers, are actually indigenous to the area, and may have been driven into the city by flooding to the north. It does seem, to the casual observer, that there is, in fact, no Western, anti-Islamic plot at work here.

Its also important to note that, while the University of Wisconsin does maintain a rather robust US-Iraq Web site, the folks in Madison probably didn't have anything to do with the badger infestation either.
