Here's some news the Sacramento Bee won't report: US fatalities down in November

Earlier I blogged about Armando Acuna's column in today's Sacramento Bee, where he explained why The Bee doesn't print many articles on the decline in violence in Iraq. His reason: the violence might increase at a later date. (If that makes sense to you, raise your hand.)

Since The Bee has decided to keep their readers in the dark about the drop in violence, bloggers are filling the gap. The above chart shows the drop in US deaths in Iraq over the past year. Gateway Pundit has the details. The Iraq Coalition Casualty Count (not a conservative group) is here. Here is a CBS report: "Iraq Violence At Lowest Levels In 2 Years." Here is a CNN report: "Numbers drop for civilian deaths, foreign fighters in Iraq."
