Has the Bush administration drastically understated the U.S. military
death count by redefining "death"? The following article
suggests that it has, and it calls for a nationwide campaign to honor deceased
service members by naming and counting them. According to the article: "...DoD lists currently being very quietly circulated
indicate almost 9,000 [U.S. military] dead"; this far exceeds the "official"
death count of 1,831. How can this be? It's largely because "U.S. Military
Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have not
previously been counted." In other words, "death" has been redefined. WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW: 1. If you know (or know of) service members who've died in Bush()'s
wars, look for their names on the full, alphabetized "official" Pentagon
death list, at www.tbrnews.org/Archives/list.htm.
IF THEIR NAMES ARE NOT INCLUDED, PLEASE SEND A REPORT TO: tbrnews
(at) hotmail.com. You're also encouraged to notify your Congress
members, your local newspaper, and other interested parties. ( Note that the alphabetized list is updated regularly at tbrnews.org. It currently
includes deaths reported up through early June. ) 2. FORWARD THIS WEB PAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO MAY KNOW SERVICE MEMBERS
WHO'VE DIED. 3. Forward this web page to veterans' groups, other organizations,
responsible journalists and respectable elected officials. Read From Lookingglassnews 9000 Dead GIs In Iraq? The Bush Butcher’s Bill: Officially, 84
