Reply #2: sloppy accounting [View All]

[bigtree]

My earliest political memories were of the daily casualties that flashed on the tv news screen after Agronsky and Co.(old Inside Washington show). The numbers of the dead soldiers were so high that I had to force my young mind to accept that it wasn't a compilation. Hundreds were dying, and as I later took account, of course, I found that thousands had died.

The media has done a sloppy job of reporting the casualties. There are no standard forums outside of internet sources where these casualties are reported. And the military and government have been thoroughly negligent in their obligation to report out the casualties
in a timely way.

Centcom has a smart web page. There's no excuse for not reporting these out to the public. It's a subversion of our democracy to hold themselves unaccountable on these casualty reports.
