Michael Moore has a link to this:

http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a1622.htm


U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005. The ongoing, underreporting of the dead in Iraq, is not accurate. The DoD is deliberately reducing the figures. A review of many foreign news sites show that actual deaths are far higher than the newly reduced ones. Iraqi civilian casualties are never reported but International Red Cross, Red Crescent and UN figures indicate that as of 1 January 2005, the numbers are just under 100,000.

2. It's been pretty much proven false here...

...over and over and over.

Some of the families of those who are dead but not listed would have raised a stink by now if they couldn't find the name of their soldier on the publically available lists.

Where is the link at MichaealMoore.com? I can't see it.

3. Find me one US parent or spouse that lost some one
that is not listed. No picture in the paper, no name on Nightline.

and not one of the 6,000 complained? Lot of site like this to spread the news when it happens.

Not buying it one bit.

5. Please show us where Moore is linking to that story. It doesn't seem
likely.
