I haven't noticed any news articles updating the facts. I guess they got distracted by the bridge. The apologies will be out tomorrow, no doubt.

1. Well, it WAS "only" 78
I kyped these numbers off the icasualties website a couple of days ago:

July 2003 - 48
July 2004 - 54
July 2005 - 54
July 2006 - 43
July 2007 - 78

And now it's 81 for July 2007. I guess it all depends on how you look at these things whether the numbers are going down or not. And of course, if one of those killed is known or related to you, the numbers don't mean a goddam thing, because your loved one is still dead and for no good reason.
