Dear God...

the Washington Post has claimed here that there have been three times the number of casualties in the sectarian violence than has been reported.

Grisly attacks and other sectarian violence unleashed by last week's bombing of a Shiite shrine have killed more than 1,300 Iraqis, making the past few days the deadliest of the war outside of major U.S. offensives, according to Baghdad's main morgue. The toll was more than three times higher than the figure previously reported by the U.S. military and the news media.

there's more....

"After he came back from the evening prayer, the Mahdi Army broke into his house and asked him, 'Are you Khalid the Sunni infidel?' " one man at the morgue said, relating what were the last hours of his cousin, according to other relatives. "He replied yes and then they took him away."

The Mahdi army is the Shiite militia of cleric Moqtoda Al-Sadr.

They are dragging people from their homes and murdering them. What have we done?
