Links to their previous reports, starting with a July 4th report, will follow but this is just one of the recent graphs used:
Security
The graphics and analysis are based on figures from the US and Iraqi authorities, Baghdad's hospitals and three families from different neighbourhoods in the capital.
During the seven days from 9-15 August 540 people were killed in violent incidents across Iraq.
Another graph of extreme interest as to what is apart of 'Counter Insurgency', Winning the Hearts and Minds of the Occupied:
It gives the location of each family in the report.
Keep in mind Iraq has consistant temperatures well above 100degrees at this time of year, and lack of power for comfort is only part of that equation.
BAGHDAD HOSPITALS
There's another graph on this part of the report as well.
But this is very telling:
The number of police protecting the hospital has fallen, from 12 to five officers.
Again, 'Winning Hearts and Minds of the Occupied'!

Now someone, in this country, needs to explain the Why we have to search out the News on a War, and not only Iraq but Afganistan as well, that we have Our Military fighting in!
The only real news we seem to get, out of both theaters, comes from foreign correspondents, video and print, while U.S. correspondents seem to Not Leave 'The Green Zone' nor are in any numbers in Afganistan, if at al.
The only good reporting from U.S. correspondents comes from the independants not working for any particular outlet!
We have 'Talking Heads', on the tubes and radio, reporting and leading discussions of so called experts while in comfortable studios in the U.S. rarely setting foot in either theater, if at all, for the majority of the News We Receive!!
Propaganda is alive and well in the 21st century!
