DoD: 2239 = Total U.S. Deaths in Iraq, Enduring Freedom Operations
Does Judith Miller have a comment or two to offer up about these stats from the Department of Defense? After all, several of her misleading stories for the NY Times in the run up to the Iraq war, played a significant role in putting American soldiers in harm's way.
Hey Judy, were these deaths preventable, perhaps through better, more verifiable journalism?
