    Well ED, I think you are right to question the popular media about information that they feed to us but I'm not to sure about this one either. I go outside the "box", put the info from different sources together and try to find some "real" scoop. Lot's of info out there, you just have to shop for it.

    Good news? Not to sure. As Ivalis said, are they moving ahead or just catching up?

    "...Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers? ..."

    Is this what is left after the bombings and displayed tendency we've see of these "Police" to run when the sh*t hits the fan ??

    I would be VERY skeptical of stats such as this ....and the source..

    my 2 cents.....
