Well this is perfect!
I check the http://icasualties.org generally daily and today when I looked at this
specific page:http://icasualties.org/oif/prdDetails.aspx?hndRef=5-2008
under Place of death:
18-May-20082| US: 2 | UK: 0 | Other: 0    USPrivate 1st Class Jr., Howard A. JonesChicagoNon-hostile - vehicle hit and run
So now tell me how does a soldier killed by hit and run in Chicago end up counting towards deaths in Iraq?

Simple!  Mainstream media bias as represented by this web site.
This site has been a major biased news source and when you read the
articles please note the tendency to make the US look bad.

But to count as a US casuality someone accidentally killed in Chicago?

Give me a break!
