As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch
NAJAF, Iraq — At what’s believed to be the world’s largest cemetery, where Shiite Muslims aspire to be buried and millions already have been, business isn’t good.
A drop in violence around Iraq has cut burials in the huge Wadi al Salam cemetery here by at least one-third in the past six months, and that’s cut the pay of thousands of workers who make their living digging graves, washing corpses or selling burial shrouds.
Jonah Goldberg commented on The Corner, “I Thought This Was from Scrappleface”
How dare George Bush and the neocons take food out of the mouth of ditch diggers in Iraq! When do the congresional hearings start? I bet they are outsourcing the ditch diggng to Haliburton or Blackwater!

SHOCKER! - Anti-Iraq Bias Evident in Media…
This would be so laughable if it so many lives weren’t at stake. First, as usual, Greyhawk at the Mudville Gazette spells it out for us, logically and cleanly:Want more evidence of victory in Iraq? Look no further than Newsweek’s…
