Global Crisis: News U.S. Casualties Greater Than Pentagon Reports By Andrei Sukhozhilov - Institute for War and Peace Reporting KHANABAD, Dec. 7, 2001 -- Scores of U.S. soldiers wounded in Afghanistan have been arriving at the Khanabad air base in southern Uzbekistan - far more than Pentagon reports suggest. A staging post for special forces' and humanitarian missions into Afghanistan, the base has become busy with another task - receiving increasing numbers of Americans wounded in the fighting. Uzbek sources at Khanabad suggest that the real figures of US casualties are far higher than the Pentagon's official totals. This IWPR reporter, who smuggled himself onto the facility on December 2, witnessed soldiers scrambling to meet an incoming US helicopter. They lifted out five wounded men on stretchers and loaded them into waiting vehicles. Uzbek army personnel working at the air base said scores of US casualties have been arriving there. From November 25 to Decemeber 2, an Uzbek orderly working with American medical staff said he had witnessed the arrival of four to five US helicopters - carrying between them 10-15 American casualties - each day. excerpt from http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011206/pl/government_secrecy_1.html Thursday December 6 9:12 PM ET Report: Many Documents Not Declassified WASHINGTON (AP) - About 526 million pages of secret government documents subject to automatic declassification laws have not been released, according to a government report released Thursday.
