The media continues its relentless "blackout" on all news coming out of Iraq which would in any way make the United States look bad.

US troops have killed 11 Iraqi civilians, but you will never read or hear a word about in the mainstream media in the United States.

BAGHDAD, May 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said its troops shot dead 11 militants in eastern Baghdad on Wednesday, but police and several residents said at least some of the dead were civilians killed by U.S. snipers.

There were conflicting accounts of the shootings in different parts of the Obaidi district close to Sadr City, the main stronghold of anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr where Iraqi troops backed by tanks have launched an operation to take control of the streets.

The U.S. military said all those killed were members of "special groups", military jargon for rogue units of Sadr's Mehdi Army militia accused of receiving funding and training from Iran.
