Summary: Reporting the Iraqi government's assertion that "more than 3,000 Iraqi families that were driven out of their Baghdad neighborhoods have returned home in the past three months because of the decline in sectarian violence," Fox News' Brit Hume stated, "A worker at the Iraqi Airways office in Damascus {Syria} says the flow of refugees from Iraq to Syria has almost reversed." But Hume did not report that Syrian officials recently began requiring people entering Syria from Iraq to obtain a visa first, which has reportedly eliminated the flow of refugees from Iraq into Syria almost entirely.
