Iraqi Government Stonewalls UN on Civilian Death Count

Hosted by

The United Nations reports that things are "rapidly worsening" for Iraqis, with violence on the increase as well as the government's practice of forcing confessions from prisoners by torture.  The UN criticized the Maliki government for not releasing a count of civilian casualties, but the Los Angeles Times has obtained its own figures from various ministries, as we hear from Tina Susman who's in Baghdad for the Times.
