In today's NEW YORK TIMES, Thursday October 23,
Thomas Friedman's column falsely reports that there are only -

"900 wounded or maimed".

Why the blatant lie ?

Why lie when CENTCOM reports more than twice
the number of casualties that Friedman reports ?

Write or call The NYTimes to complain that Friedman's column
is false, and misleading the American public about the true
number a American soldier casualties.

TOTAL US wounded in Iraq since March 20th: 1,938 9.01

As of this am (think she said 7 am)-

From Iraq -

"1,609 wounded in combat , 338 non-combat "



So that totals now 1,947 wounded

4. Friedman is a PNAC operative, and a pathological liar.

Whatever he once was, he is not now. I wonder how he can stand to look at himself in the mirror?
