OT Verlustzahlen des Pentagons so korrekt wie die Inflationszahlen
-->PENTAGON LOWBALLING U.S. DEATHS & CASUALTIES
There is now more evidence that the Pentagon has been lowballing its count of the dead and wounded in Iraq ~ which would represent the ultimate spin and deceit of this morally corrupt administration.
There has always been the strong rumor that the Pentagon only counts those killed in combat in its daily death totals. So if a soldier was wounded and died in transit to a hospital or in that hospital ~ he would not be counted in that daily death total.
As such, the total number of combat deaths in Iraq would be closer to 8000 versus the currently published 2150.
That rumor seems now to be substantiated by a group of House democrats who are now claiming that the pentagon is seriously underreporting the true extent of casualties by close to 25,000.
Mark Benjamin, Salon, investigates these charges and files these explosive findings.
