Volunteers collect Baghdad's nameless dead
Editor's note: This is part of a series of reports CNN.com is featuring from an Anderson Cooper special this week, "Live from Iraq," which airs at 10 p.m. ET.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Sheik Jamal al-Sudani leads a group of volunteers with one of the most solemn tasks in Iraq: Collecting and burying the hundreds of unclaimed dead every month and giving them a proper burial.
"I only think about one thing: That one day, I will face the same fate as these people have faced, and will there be someone to take care of me and bury me, too?" the sheik told CNN.
The discovery of slain bodies in bustling, war-torn Baghdad is a daily fact of life, as ever-present as the lively markets, the solemn mosques, the blinding sunrise and the soft sunset.
Many of the bodies of the slain men, women, and children -- found on the streets, in the sewers and in the ruins of bombings -- have never been claimed because some are so mangled and charred, they're unidentifiable. ..............
.....Such grim volunteer work isn't entirely new to the region. Under former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, the sheik said, they often buried more than three dozen unidentified corpses a month.
After the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, that number rose to around 250 a month, he said. Following last year's Askariya bombing, the volunteers buried as many as 2,000 per month. The numbers now are back in the low hundreds, the sheik said. ......

seems like the more the united states surges in
the more unidentified iraqi bodies there are. how long are we going to allow this to happen? how long are we NOT going to demand accountability? how long are we going to destroy someone else's country? how long are we going to just TOSS BILLIONS of dollars out of the window? how long are we going to allow our constitution and our laws to be either ignored or spit upon?

why why why
why are we there? why? i don't get it. i'll NEVER get it. yesterday, at the coast guard academy graduation ceremony, king george went on and on and on about the war on terror and how iraq was going to be a HUB for the terrorists. well it WAS NOT going to be one, but it sure as shite IS ONE NOW. why? BECAUSE OF US that's why. the 9/11 terrorists did NOT come from iraq. iraq did NOT bring down the twin towers. we invaded a country for no cause. we ruined tens of thousands of lives including many of OURS. many of our men and women will never return home to their families. many who do return home will never be the same.
the situation continues to get worse. we elected new people to bring a change. did they? no. they back down and bow down to the king.
well that is NOT what america wants. america wants it's men and women HOME and SAFE
when is it going to be time for us to say ENOUGH?
when?

Separately, the U.S. military announced the deaths of eight American troops, including three killed Saturday in a single roadside bombing outside Baghdad.
With black smoke clogging the skies above Karbala, angry crowds hurled stones at police and later stormed the provincial governor's house, accusing authorities of failing to protect them from the unrelenting bombings usually blamed on Sunni insurgents. It was the second car bomb to strike the city's central area in two weeks..............
