General David Petraeus, the new commander of US forces, spoke of "encouraging signs" in Baghdad. The US troop 'surge' has allowed hundreds of families to return to homes abandoned in the face of sectarian attacks, he claimed.

But he was contradicted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees who said that they have no credible evidence of any family returning to their homes from which they were forced to flee and staying.

And so we have the incredible situation where the Americans have resolutely refused to do a body count of Iraqi deaths but feel obliged to tell the world that they know of returning refugees because they have counted them.
