Iraq

(CNN) "A U.S. Embassy in Baghdad document studying how Iraq fights corruption says the Iraqi government "is not capable of even rudimentary enforcement of anti-corruption laws" and the prime minister's office is openly hostile to the idea of an independent anti-corruption agency."

(Telegraph) Washington insider and aspiring Iraqi PM Ayad Allawi says that Maliki is "even worse" than Saddam.

(USAToday) "More than 19,000 militants have been killed in fighting with coalition forces since the insurgency began, according to military statistics released for the first time..... 4,882 militants were killed in clashes with coalition forces this year." (By past White House estimates, that should be just about all of them.)
