After a long evening in a local pub discussing the Bush administrations diversions and use of misdirection over the last couple of years (with a Texan), it seemed fortuitous to come across this link earlier today. It seems like a massively symbolic milestone to have reached, especially just a couple of days prior to the 5th anniversary of 9/11. Why haven't we seen more coverage of this; it seems like something the Independent could have had a field day with for its 'infographic' style front pages...
(...) Here are the numbers: 3,015 Americans have died in Iraq as of September 9. 2,666 of these were military deaths and 349 were civilians.More Americans have now died in Iraq than died on 9/11. Iraq didn't attack us on that day, and our misguided policy there has now taken more American lives than Al Qaeda.
