Falluja Arithmetic Lesson
Greg Palast, Axis of Logic

Nov 17, 2004, 21:59

Monday's New York Times, page 1:

"American commanders said 38 service members had been killed and 275 wounded in 
the Falluja
assault."

Monday's New York Times, page 11:

"The American military hospital here reported that it had treated 419 American 
soldiers since the
siege of Falluja began."

Questions for the class:

1. If 275 soldiers were wounded in Falluja and 419 are treated for wounds, how 
many were shot on the
plane ride to Germany?

2. We're told only 275 soldiers were wounded but 419 treated for wounds; and 
we're told that 38
soldiers died. So how many will be buried?

3. How long have these Times reporters been embedded with with military? Bonus 
question: When will
they get out of bed with the military?

Monday's New York Times, page 1:

"The commanders estimated that 1,200 to 1,600 insurgents had been killed."

Monday's New York Times, page 11:

"Nowhere to be found: the remains of the insurgents that the tanks had been 
sent in to destroy.
...The absence of insurgent bodies in Falluja has remained an enduring mystery."


NOT in the New York Times:

"Every time I hear the news
That old feeling comes back on;
We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the Big Fool says to push on."

- Pete Seeger, 1967
