Broadsheet: Baghdad morgue count rises again

More bad news from Baghdad.

Officials at Baghdad mortuary say they received 1,855 bodies in July,.... The figure - the highest yet - is a rise of more than 350 on June. Officials say about 90% of the deaths were as a result of violence.

Death tole for the month long Isreal / Lebanon "skirmish"?

Isreal = 98 (as of Tuesday)
Lebanon = 781 (as of Tuesday)

Again - more than TWICE the number of people are being killed in Baghdad alone - not to mention the rest of Iraq - compared the the numbers killed in Isreal/Lebanon and yet, the media coverage focuses on their fight, instead of the war and devastation we caused for the last 4 years.

I don't get it.
