funny numbers with the casualty count
Pentagon Casualty Figures
Don't Add Up

IN MEMORIAM

Today I'm going to do something a little bit like journalism, except I haven't done any real follow-up. Still, it's an important issue, and I'd like any Google maestros reading to help.

Go to your local newspaper site, or TV station site, and do a search for "local man woman killed wounded Iraq". Weed out the duplicates, total the numbers, and then check them against the casualty lists, because there's something funny going on here.

1. icasualties.org
icasualties.org talks about the difficulties in finding information on troop deaths. The DoD is doing everything possible to hide numbers from the general public.

4. The number of bad drivers is really hard to take.
Shall we all sing 'seems like old times' Bush will be gone from office by the time people wake up and see what is happening and try to count the dead and where the money went.
