Forces linked to more deaths than insurgents
Operations are killing twice as many civilians as militants are,
statistics show

By NANCY A. YOUSSEF
Knight Ridder Tribune News


BAGHDAD, IRAQ - Operations by U.S. and multinational forces and Iraqi
police are killing twice as many Iraqis — most of them civilians — as
attacks by insurgents, according to statistics compiled by the Iraqi
Health Ministry and obtained exclusively by Knight Ridder.

1. It was two K-R reporters who reported that BushInc was "cooking" the books
regarding intel on Iraq, That was in Oct.2002. Few of their own K-R newspapers featured the story on the front page, most buried it and some didn't even use it.

2. Try the www.kcstar.com
I believe it is a K-R owned paper, but they report more investigative stuff than the "effete, elite, Eastern press"
