Iraq 'progress' kills 18 more

The 'progress' never stops in Iraq. I know, Petraeus said all of this was going away, but the bodies still pile up. But if we leave Iraq, the bodies will pile up. At least we can finally call it a civil war.
It's kind of hard to relegate beheaded corpses to "ordinary crime", but we can be sure that each and every one of these deaths will be statistically played with by "patriots" who deeply care about the Iraqi people.

Of course, these are just the reported deaths, and of those, the ones that the military couldn't cover up beforehand.
