News from the Fraud's photo-op war
Seven members of a Spanish intelligence team die in an ambush south of Baghdad.
Two Japanese diplomats killed when their car was ambushed near Tikrit.
Guerrillas killed two U.S. soldiers and wounded a third in an ambush in western Iraq.
Toll on U.S. troops in Iraq grows as wounded rolls approach 10,000. "I don't think even that is the whole story," said Nancy Lessin of Boston, the mother of an Iraq war veteran and co-founder of Military Families Speak Out, a group opposed to the war in Iraq.
"We really think there's an effort to hide the true cost in life, limb and the mental health of our soldiers," Lessin said. "There's a larger picture here of really trying to hide and obfuscate what's going on, and the wounded and injured are part of it."
The number of sick and injured is almost certainly substantially higher, because the figures provided by the military last week include totals only through Oct. 30.
Neither the Pentagon nor the news media are giving the American public an accurate picture of the situation in Iraq, which is "a nightmare," says a soldier who is about to go back.
