NYT: Bush** Endangers Troops by Revealing Baghdad Security Posts.

EAST GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 20 - President Bush turned to visual aids on Friday to promote his troop buildup in Iraq, using maps and photographs on a wide electronic screen to assert that in Baghdad, "the direction of the fight is beginning to shift"...

Bombs killed at least 171 people on Wednesday in the deadliest day in the capital since before the American-led security plan for the city took effect two months ago...

Like a general outlining his battle plan, the president delivered a step-by-step analysis of the conflict in Baghdad, Anbar Province and the outskirts of Baghdad. He began with a map that used red triangles to pinpoint the location of joint security stations, posts in Baghdad where American and Iraqi forces are supposed to work to root out terrorists...

Death squad killings have dropped by half, according to the United States military, but bombings, which have mainly been directed at Shiites, have increased in Baghdad.
