Number of unidentified corpses found in Baghdad spikes.

From Thinkprogress:

“The number of unidentified corpses discovered in Baghdad soared more than 70 percent during May,” from 441 in April to 726 last month, “according to new statistics from the Iraqi Ministry of Interior. The bodies, “many bound and shot in the head or showing signs of torture and execution,” are indicate that “sectarian killings are rising sharply as militias return to the streets after lying low during the first few months of the troop ’surge.’”

This is by far worse than anything we have ever seen here, the Katrina victems, the heat wave of Chicago '95, anything. Sadly most of the Iraqis who could flee to every imaginable Country have lost contact with family and friends who were left behind.

Very grim report. And we still don't know how many corpses are out there since Katrina.
