re: I never said that each single killing gets media coverage per se. The "incidents" in Iraq have been somewhere in the range of 200 to 700 per day, as reported by the US military (don't know what the current number is). But you certainly don't hear the details of even 10%. Another example of what we don't know... the military has always reported about how many bombing sorties they run each day, the tonnage of the bombs dropped, etc until Iraq. In Iraq, you wouldn't think we even had aircraft.... unless one of ours gets shot down. In the recent post-bomb violence, the Iraqi's were reporting something like 100-200 dead; the Baghdad morgue had 1300, most killed execution style. The other thing is that there are almost zero reporters outside of Baghdad, and most of those in the Green Zone... except when they do a live TV shot and need a backdrop. And of course the Iraqi and US admins both have a stake in having Iraq appear not so bad. Now you can read this to say we are getting a lot of accurate info... I'm afraid that I take a different view. The fog of war is covering all of Iraq. Someday we may know how bad it really was, and I think we will be shocked. John
