Via Powerline, General Ray Odierno lays out visual progress in Iraq. Here are just two graphs, the first before, the second after the surge.
And in case you missed this local story, The Bench and Blackfive cover the successful prosecution of an anti-war activist who engaged in a particularly hateful act directed against a Marine.

UPDATE: More good coverage on Grodner the guilty lawyer-activist at Flying Debris.
