Surge Success
Unwelcome news for those who think that the American "security crackdown" in Iraq is a bad idea (link).
If this doesn't render moot the cries of Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha, I don't know what will.
The number of bodies found so far this month in Baghdad — most of them shot and showing signs of torture — has dropped by nearly 50 percent to 494 as of Monday night, compared with 954 in January and 1,222 in December, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press.
Since the crackdown was formally launched Feb. 14, a total of 164 bodies had been found in the capital as of Monday, according to AP figures, which are compiled from police reports. The AP count showed 390 bodies were discovered in the same period in January.
If this doesn't render moot the cries of Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha, I don't know what will.

As ethnic cleansing is accomplished in Baghdad and other regions a reduction in the number of bodies should be expected. And with internal dislocations numbering in the hundreds of thousands, it appears that it's proceeding very well.
