Occasionally, the truth about Iraq trickles out

Buried in an AP article.
Police reported finding the bodies of nine bullet-riddled torture victims in Baghdad, the second-lowest total since the security operation began Feb. 14.

Yes, that does represent a significant decline from the days when there were 40 killings a day, but take a minute to think about this "second lowest total."

There have been only two days out of 50 with less than 10 death squad killings in Baghdad, and that's with the Shia militias ordered to stand down.

That sets a minimum of 270 a month, just killed by death squads, just in the capital, and that's making the assumption that every day is a best case day. (in Baghdad!!!!)
