"Up to 30 children killed by US soldiers at checkpoints"
"Shooting of surrendering men"
"To these should be added military deaths, and IBC's revised total deaths in Iraq would now be around 150,000, 80 per cent of them civilians."

It's funny how the media gets all worked up over the civilians in say, Haiti. Remember how much they covered that? It was wall to wall coverage for like a month. And journalists, celebrities, even President Bush FFS, was encouraging people to donate.
Where was the coverage of the 150k Iraqi civilian deaths?

I cannot stand the fact that our so-called democratically elected leaders cannot handle facts and truths once they leak. Sure, it's painful, but they have to play the hurt card instead of constructively trying to improve their ways, ethics anyone?

Ah see you might have misunderstood. We don't live in a democracy but rather a plutonomy.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillai has urged the United States and Iraq to inquire into allegations of torture, prisoner-abuse and unlawful killings indicated in thousands of classified U.S. military documents leaked last Friday.
"The US and Iraqi authorities should take necessary measures to investigate all the allegations made in these reports and to bring to justice those responsible for unlawful killings, summary executions, torture and other serious human rights abuses," she said in a statement Tuesday.
She said the leaked "files reportedly indicate that the US knew, among other things, about the widespread use of torture and ill-treatment of detainees by Iraqi forces, and yet proceeded with the transfer of thousands of persons who had been detained by US forces to Iraqi custody between early 2009 and July 2010."
Yeah, I'm sure they'll get right on that U.N.

Nobel Prize recipient Joseph Stiglitz and Harvard budget guru Linda J. Bilmes are revising their original $3 trillion war cost estimate. As Bilmes reports, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are at least 25 percent costlier than previous projections.

U.S. diplomats and officials said they’re bracing for at least three newspapers and WikiLeaks to publish on Sunday hundreds of thousands classified State Department cables that could drastically alter U.S. relations with top allies and reveal embarrassing secrets about U.S. foreign policy.
U.S. diplomats have been frantically reaching out to their counterparts around the world as intelligence officials pleaded with WikiLeaks and the newspapers, including The New York Times, the Guardian in London and Der Spiegel, a German newsweekly, to not publish information that could endanger lives and U.S. policy. Some of the documents are expected to reveal details about how some U.S. diplomats feel about top foreign leaders.
