WaPo Apparently Doesn't Get the Bush-Rumsfeld Memo Not to Report Insurgent Deaths in Iraq

Because the Post states that more than 100 are dead just in Baghdad, just today, mostly from insurgent violence. As I reported yesterday, the Bushies with Rumsfeld have decided to "reduce" the death count by omitting any lives lost to car bombs and other insurgent attacks (which is MOST of the deaths in Iraq).

The Bushies also fudge numbers for U.S. soldier deaths and woundings, job numbers, economic growth numbers, the national debt, and just about everything else from which they can divorce the American people from the ugly truth.
