The radical militants known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), boasted of executing 1,700 Iraqi soldiers on June 15, posting pictures of the massacre online. In the weeks since, the extent of the bloodbath has been debated. Analyzing satellite images and the pictures posted by ISIL, Human Rights Watch has concluded that the insurgents actually killed between 160 and 190 captives. The group, though, warned that the number might not be definitive, given the "difficulty of locating bodies and accessing the area." No matter the number of victims, HRW emphasizes that the execution constitutes a war crime. http://on.mash.to/URmAg8 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

From obscuring the true cost of credit to causing confusion about good investments, central bankers end up papering over economic problems. And when they send the wrong messages to savers and consumers trying to coordinate their plans, boom and bust cycles lengthen and worsen.
