That's 234 bodies dumped around Baghdad in the first 11 days of May; there were 137 in the first 11 days of April. So, the start of the surge has seen almost a doubling in the number of murders. In Diyala 61 U.S. soldiers have been killed this year so far; in all of 2006 there were 20 killed. The insurgents who have left Baghdad have apparently moved to other Iraqi provinces, Diyala being one of them.
When will the surge have a positive effect?
