Large numbers of casualties will reflect badly on the military and the federal government and I wonder how much pressure they're willing to exert even at the risk of being exposed for hiding the truth. If you're killing innocent people it is a pretty bad thing, it doesn't get much worse, even if you're trying to cover it up, so why not attempt to cover it up? I want to suggest an independent over-seerer to count the bodies, but why not use that political will to just get us the fuck out places where we end up killing children and people just trying to live their lives.BjornTiplingMon, 08 Sep 2008 23:58:58 -0000http://bjorn.tipling.com/2008/09/08/oh-that-makes-it-ok/#comment-2234416I have it on repeated anecdote from people who's come back from the other theatre that all the numbers are hugely underreported. I don't find that hard to believe.ajslaterMon, 08 Sep 2008 15:05:32 -0000
