McClatchy Washington Bureau: Study says violence in Iraq has been underreported
“The standard for recording attacks acts a filter to keep events out of reports and databases,” the report said. “A murder of an Iraqi is not necessarily counted as an attack. If we cannot determine the source of a sectarian attack, that assault does not make it into the database. A roadside bomb or a rocket or mortar attack that doesn’t hurt U.S. personnel doesn’t count.”

Somebody better tell ye nuttes of winge, they’ve been kicking off about the Associated (With Terrorists, wonk wonk!) Press reporting too much carnage all week.
I guess they’d just say that this article is evidence of the more bias in the press.
Fortunately, I don’t have the language to read the newspapers properly.
Unfortunately, the language and newspapers concerned are Spanish.
