Is DOD Down on the Count?

This deserves a closer look. Department of Defense appears to be deliberately under counting our war dead in Iraq. Brian Harring reports that the DOD stops counting after casualties have been removed from the field of combat....and what happens after that is anyones guess. For instance, a wounded soldier who is officially evacuated from Iraq, but later dies from his wounds, is still reported as a wounded soldier. Harring has found that shipping manifest to Dover AFB shows a larger number of war dead being delivered than is reported by the DOD.....he estimates that the total of war dead is more likely to be around 9,000, not the official total of 1,747.

If this turns out to be true...then no wonder the Bush Adminstration doesn't want reporters observing the return of our war dead.

See ya!
