BAGHDAD - The Iraqi government on Monday said it will allow doctors to carry guns in self-defence, pledging that they will not be detained during security operations.

The cabinet agreed to grant weapons permits to doctors in the light of the killing by insurgents of a large number of professional people since the 2003 US-led invasion.

"The cabinet decided to allow each doctor to carry one weapon to defend himself," the statement said. Doctors will not be detained during security operations unless the health ministry has been informed.

In a move seen as an attempt to prevent the emigration of skilled people, the government is also offering better housing for doctors and a review of taxes imposed on professionals, the statement said.

It is mainly divided into two sides: the west (al-Karkh) and the east (al-Rasafa).

WHY DOESN'T THE MEDIA REPORT ON IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN ANYMORE? DEATH AND VIOLENCE SWEEP ACROSS BOTH WAR ZONES

Just because John McCain says "we are winning in Iraq" doesn't make it so. The truth is there growing violence and death in both war zones where we have close to 200,000 young Americans hunkered down and trying to keep from having their heads blown off.

Here is just a partial list of what is happening in both Iraq and Afghanistan which the mainstream media doesn't consider "news" anymore.
