President: 5900 Enemy Killed, Captured Since October

Deeply buried in this Reuters story (14th paragraph) is the news that US and Iraqi forces have killed or captured nearly 6,000 terrorist-insurgents since October:

In a rarity, he gave a body count of 5,900 enemy killed or captured by U.S. and Iraqi forces in October, November and early December.

Expect this disclosure to get absolutely no air time on the network's nightly news programs.

Credit where it's due: Eason Jordan's new IraqSlogger website headlines the 5900 figure.

Yesterday, Jordan, who was forced to resign from CNN after inflammatory "off the record" remarks about US troops, invited Michelle Malkin to join him in Iraq to search for AP mystery source Jamil Hussein.

Has Eason resolved to turn away from the Dark Side, or is it all cover for some ruse? Stay tuned.

2 Hey Jawa, thanks for the plug. We don't have an agenda, we just cover Iraq and we do it 24/7. Simple idea, urgent need, no politics involved. Do we have opinions..yep. But most of our focus is on getting the ton of information our guys gather on the ground out to the reader.

enjoy

3 RYP: both you and Eason Jordan have been noted for radically anti-military opinions. How will that affect your ability to get the news out?

4 No politics involved? YEA SURE: That dog won't hunt. You're just over there for a good time. Asshole.

5 RYP:

I notice that your blog prefers to cover bad news about Iraq. The impression an uninformed reader gets is that the Coalition's mission in Iraq is a wasteful folly.

Since you have no agenda, I guess its just a case of shoddy reporting.
