Iraq Car Bombings Plummet

I bet there isn't 1 in 10 Americans who knew this was true.

There's good news out of Iraq that the big media doesn't seem to think is newsworthy. Suicide car bombings have plummeted in the last year by a stunning 84 percent.

According to a study by the Brookings Institution, as of last May, the monthly rate of suicide car attacks stood at 136.

By December, however, that number had fallen to just 30 per month. In February - the last month for which statistics are available - car bombings were down to just 22 per month.

Who would have known?
