(9,457 posts)5. Often times you will see different numbers attributed to the Bush/Bush/Clinton/Reagan
administrations. This is usually because the numbers are either AMERICANS killed, or total killed during an embassy attack. Since the host country is responsible for security there are usually security staff killed during the attack that are only counted when one is talking about ALL individuals killed during an attack, not just AMERICANS.
You can check the numbers you have but I believe with Bush 2 the total killed were 62, with total Americans being 58.
