Yesterday, I posted some Kuwait News Agency story, via Drudge, which had some bad analysis and numbers for an alleged drop in US troop casualties. Then, I left to pick my daughter from ballet practice and run other errands. My PDA started to fill up with email saying the numbers were wrong, which on reflection should have been obvious to me. Anyway, I couldnโt post to the Corner from afar so I sent an email to Katrhyn asking her to clarify that the numbers were wrong. She added the update. When I returned, I wrote a long post on all this, but it was eaten by our blogging software. I couldnโt rewrite it then, so I figured Iโd write something this morning (albeit briefer). Anyway, I say all this because some readers are reading all sorts of things into it that arenโt there and didnโt happen. I regret posting the bad info. You can find more reliable casualty numbers here.
