"Violence is dropping sharply throughout the country....
However, the pace of violence in Iraq has picked up in the last few weeks."
Talk about discrediting yourself. What's that hole in your foot, MSM?
I guess the "truth" is whatever fits the agenda-pushing screed-sheets need at the moment, 'eh?
Update:
"Even today, Iraq is far from peaceful; an average of 500 people are murdered each month, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Baghdad at the end of 2008 is a deeply divided city. Neighbourhoods that were religiously and ethnically cleansed by the wave of violence that engulfed the city before 2007 are now fortified by row upon row of concrete blast walls."
