An official with Combined Joint Task Force 7 in Baghdad said that the progress is not reported in the media, "because it isn't seen as news." Deaths are news, said the official. But coalition forces rebuilding schools, Iraqi towns electing representative councils and progress on rebuilding water and electrical utilities also should be news. "And these things are happening," said the official.

Something we're all familiar with. As to the bribing of poor Iraqis to attack Americans, I wouldn't think a reverse reward system would be out of line. Fedayeen..$200.00, Mukhabarat...$175.00, Special Republican Guard...$150.00, Baathists Party Member...sliding scale based on rank, but at least $100.00, anyone offering money to attack Americans...$Jackpot, if delivered alive.

Thanks for the good news ping.
