More On The Iraq Death Tolls
Back in February, Susan of Suburban Guerrilla had quite a bit to say on the true number of deaths resulting from the war in Iraq. She has done quite a bit of research on the subject and claims that the pentagon and the Bush Administration are fiddling with the numbers to make them appear lower. She suggests that only American citizens are included in the count, despite a large number of immigrants who were recruited with the promise of a Green Card. She suggests that people who die on missions but not actually in battle are not counted in the tally. She also suggests they’re fiddling with the casualty totals.
Oh, and this quote from an article found on VeteransForPeace.org completely flabberghasts me:
A soldier who served in Iraq apparently hung himself with a bedsheet last week at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, but the Pentagon did not count that death two days later when it announced “a very small increase” in the suicide rate from Operation Iraqi Freedom.
It also did not count an Operation Iraqi Freedom soldier who apparently committed suicide at the same military hospital last July. The Pentagon said it is not counting suicides among troops who killed themselves after they left Iraq.
