Clumsy writing …

… makes us look like we’ve got an agenda. To wit:

The bombings occurred just hours after three other American soldiers were killed in overnight attacks in and around the capital, bringing to 112 the total number of U.S. military personnel killed in hostile acts since President Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq on May 1.

What earthly reason is there for focusing on the dead since the “end of hostilities” except to expose Bush to ridicule? Everybody with a brain knows there’s still a war on in Iraq — why not state the death toll for the whole thing and leave it at that?
