More bad news in Iraq. May marks the grimmest month in terms of numbers since MSM began covering the war:

Yesterday ended the month with the fewest Coalition casualties since nearly the beginning of the war in Iraq. There were only about 20 combat-related deaths during the entire month of May. Hopefully portending even better things to come, only about five of those deaths occurred during the final two weeks of the month.

It isn’t about body counts, however, since one way to ensure a low casualty rate is to sequester American forces on forward operating bases. What makes the statistic even more impressive is that the low death total came even as the operational tempo was as busy as ever.

The lack of coverage on such numbers has some experts questioning the objectivity of MSM editors. Some even suggesting that perhaps their coverage has been biased.
