Paolo blogs about Gianluca Neri's discovery of the actual incidence of attack against coalition forces in Iraq:

The 'declassified' parts of the report (you can get the [sic] here, apparently the original document has been pulled from the Pentagon site) contain names of US and Italian personnel involved in the incident but also some interesting bits about the engagement rules and some stats. For example we learn that:

From 1 November 2004 to 12 March 2005 there were a total of 3306 attacks in the Baghdad area. Of these, 2400 were directed against Coalition Forces.

It means an average of 25 attacks per day, wasn't this information interesting for the public (especially the American one)?

Hmmm. Another blogger (this time an Italian one) breaks big news ahead of the traditional journalist.
