UCLA study of satellite imagery casts doubt on surge's success in Baghdad / UCLA Newsroom
by Decius at 11:26 am EDT, Sep 21, 2008

"If the surge had truly 'worked,' we would expect to see a steady increase in night-light output over time, as electrical infrastructure continued to be repaired and restored, with little discrimination across neighborhoods," said co-author Thomas Gillespie, an associate professor of geography at UCLA. "Instead, we found that the night-light signature diminished only in certain neighborhoods, and the pattern appears to be associated with ethno-sectarian violence and neighborhood ethnic cleansing."

Mike the Usurper memed this study here but this UCLA press release has more information and a link to the actual study. This raises a number of questions that are likely to be promptly ignored.

Thanks for adding the new link. You're right, the current bunch will ignore it, it conflicts with their worldview, and therefore must be biased and wrong. We'll see what a new bunch does in a few months.
