The reporting of violence and casualites in Iraq in the last two weeks has
been scattered and thoroughly irresponsible, i.e., there has been no
cumulative reporting. Each separate incident has been treated as an
isolated case. The violence has been as least as bad as it has ever been,
all over the Sunni triangle, including Fallujah, which clearly has not, say
again *has_not* been pacified. The following site includes a list of links
to the accounts of the different incidents:

injuring 13, including an Iraqi National Guardsman, the U.S. military said.
