The Washington Times reports on Army Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, who says the reports of Iraqi sectarian violence during a ten-day period have been "exaggerated."
"The overall levels of violence did not increase substantially as a result of the bombing" of the Golden Mosque, he said, which is in stark contrast to media propaganda portraying the opposite. "It took us a few days to sort our way through what we considered in a lot of cases to be exaggerated reports."
The media tried to hype violence on Iraqi Mosques, but "Gen. Casey said that in a reported 30 attacks on mosques, only two were severely damaged. Of eight mosques that were reported damaged, inspections showed only one had damage -- a broken window."
