PROGRESS REPORT

About one in every 10 members of Iraq's security forces "actually worked against" U.S. troops during the recent militia violence in Iraq...

...During the recent militia attacks, "about 50 percent of the security forces that we've built over the past year stood tall and stood firm," [Major General Martin Dempsey] said.

"About 40 percent walked off the job because they were intimidated. And about 10 percent actually worked against us," said Dempsey, describing that group as infiltrators.

Dempsey commands the Army division in charge of Baghdad....
