As the conflict in Iraq continued, ousted dictator Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death after being found guilty of crimes against humanity. He was executed by hanging on December 30. The war itself spiralled into a quagmire teetering on the brink of civil war. A damning report called for the US to revise its troop strategy in Iraq and address the "grave and deteriorating" situation in the country. Australia recorded its first death in the Iraq conflict after soldier Private Jake Kovco died in an accidental shooting. His grieving family also expressed their disbelief and outrage after an inquiry found Pte Kovco was responsible for his own death.

February 2006 in Britain and Ireland
On the county and municipal level, programs were established to enable fire mitigation and fire prevention planning. Homeowners worked to clear dead and dying trees from their properties, and a widespread Community Wildfire Protection Plan took hold across the county. But the more we know about the pine beetle epidemic, the more nuance it seems is needed in the debate. While beetle-killed trees grow in numbers, a new argument about a consequent rise in fire danger arose. Water, or lack thereof, was less of an issue this year, as the hydrological year between 2005 and 2006 was one of the wettest on record. And on June 5, Dillon Reservoir filled to capacity, and excess water spilled through the glory hole for the second year in a row. In other environmental news this year, a surge of run-off from an abandoned mine above Breckenridge threatened a number of species in April. The result of the mine run-off: the Blue River flowed a deep orange color right through downtown Breckenridge, though no long-term impacts to the ecosystems there could be reported. Finally, boosted water flows in the same Blue River were the goal of the Breckenridge Sanitation District with their proposed Blue River Pumpback Project — where a series of pipes and pumps would recirculate water flows normally lost to Dillon Reservoir back into the river further upstream.
The year was marked with much progress on the project; funding was secured and scheduling and planning begun.

Business In the second-biggest share offer in Australian history behind the T2 sale seven years ago, the Federal Government finally gave the green light for the third sell-off of Telstra shares.

But the rescue was tinged with sadness by the death of third miner, Larry Knight. The story took another tragic and ironic turn as television journalist Richard Carleton died at the scene covering the event for the 60 Minutes program.

In response, Bond issued a statement claiming that Newcastle had sacked him without investigating properly. Kevin Bond filed legal papers against the BBC, but withdrew the libel action, 8 days before the trial was set to commence. There was a complete lack of substance and evidence, and if the BBC has any hard evidence it should give it to the Football Association.
