Who is Killing Whom?

In Iraq of course.

I was looking at a post on A Jacksonian other wise known as "Dumb Looks Still Free" and found this amazing fact from Gateway Pundit:

Ok, tell me what the #1 cause of violent death in Iraq has been for nearly two years running.

It is something that is completely uncovered by the MSM: Revenge Killings. It is Kurds and Shia Arabs getting revenge on Ba'athist Sunni Arabs. It outpaces sectarian violence *still*, to this day. To report on *that* requires having to go to Iraqi media and looking at the overall figures and seeing that Sunni Arabs are being targeted along multiple paths of which sectarian is just *one* and not even majoritarian! Hit up strategypage.com and start digging, they have reported on that about every 6 months or so when cumulativie statistics are available.
Post war periods are full of this sort of thing. Our difficulty is that long memories and blood fueds are traditional in this part of the world. Justice will be done. Not as a matter of law, but of individual concience and local cultural rules.

I think putting Saddam on trial was supposed to show the way forward. I think the trials have not reached low enough.

The story about the jihadi caught in Illinois has Rockford connections.
