More on casualties
Iraq Body Count has compiled a new Dossier of Civilian Casualties in Iraq. The report is in a graphics-heavy a 28-page PDF, and finds that at least 67,000 civilians have been killed or wounded since the March 2003 invasion, up to March of this year. Nearly 25,000 have been killed, including 51 babies. Nearly half of the dead were killed by U.S. forces.
Speaking of casualties, one blog is now being removed from the blogroll as of today. South Knox Bubba, a blog I really enjoyed reading for its dedication to a community (Knoxville, TN area), great photos (including Friday Bird Blogging) and for setting up the Rocky Top Brigade, a list of Tennessee bloggers is no more. posted by liz at 2:05 PM
