#1 36 percent of Baghdad's drinking water is unsafe, according to the Iraqi Environment Ministry

Cleverly disguised in this article is the fact that in 2003, 72% of Baghdad's water was unsafe. One of the great accomplishments of the Coalition has been to bring clean water to millions of Iraqis who have never had it -ever.

The improvements in clean water and sewage in the provinces are even greater.

#4 Call Procter&Gamble. They have a program for free or very low cost water purification ... stuff ... that they've been sharing in, I believe, India and Africa. It works in bucket sized lots or something, and is not competition for proper water purification plants. In the mean time, run the water through a silk fabric lined sieve, then boil it. India Sari silk is the best, if I recall correctly.
