U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have very rarely been counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005. The ongoing, underreporting of the dead in Iraq, is not accurate. The DoD is deliberately reducing the figures. A review of many foreign news sites show that actual deaths are far higher than the newly reduced ones. Iraqi civilian casualties are never reported but International Red Cross, Red Crescent and UN figures indicate that as of 1 January 2005, the numbers are just under 100,000.

by Brian Harring, Domestic Intelligence Reporter brianharring@yahoo.com

Note: There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported officially. The educated rumor is that the actual death toll is in excess of 7,000. Given the officially acknowledged number of over 15,000 seriously wounded (and a published total of 25,000 wounded overall,), this elevated death toll is far more realistic than the current 1,800+ now being officially published. When our research is complete, and watertight, we will publish the results along with the sources In addition to the evident falsification of the death rolls, at least 5,500 American military personnel have deserted, most in Ireland but more have escaped to Canada and other European countries, none of whom are inclined to cooperate with vengeful American authorities. (See TBR News of 18 February for full coverage on the mass desertions) This means that of the 158,000 U.S. military shipped to Iraq, 26,000 deserted, were killed or seriously wounded. The DoD lists currently being very quietly circulated indicate almost 9,000 dead, over 16,000 seriously wounded (This figure is now over 24,000 Ed) and a large number of suicides, forced hospitalization for ongoing drug usage and sales, murder of Iraqi civilians and fellow soldiers, rapes, courts martial and so on –

I have a copy of the official DoD Army/Iraq casualty list. I am alphabetizing it with the reported date of death following. TBR will post this list and when this is circulated widely by veteran groups and other concerned sites, if people who do not see their loved one’s names, are requested to inform their Congressman, their local paper, us and other concerned people as soon as possible.

The government gets away with these huge lies because they claim, falsely, that only soldiers actually killed on the ground in Iraq are reported. The dying and critically wounded are listed as en route to military hospitals outside of the country and not reported on the daily postings. Anyone who dies just as the transport takes off from the Baghdad airport is not listed and neither are those who die in the US military hospitals. Their families are certainly notified that their son, husband, brother or lover was dead and the bodies, or what is left of them (refrigeration is very bad in Iraq what with constant power outages) are shipped home, to Dover AFB. This, we note, was the overall policy until very recently. Since it became well known that many had died at Landstuhl, in Germany, the DoD began to list a very few soldiers who had died at other non-theater locations. These numbers are only for show and are pathetically small in relationship to the actual figures (which we are now publishing.) You ought to realize that President Bush personally ordered that no pictures be taken of the coffined and flag-draped dead under any circumstances. He claims that this is to comfort the bereaved relatives but is designed to keep the huge number of arriving bodies secret. Any civilian, or military personnel, taking pictures will be jailed at once and prosecuted. Bush has never attended any kind of a memorial service for his dead soldiers and never will. He is terrified some parent might curse him in front of the press or, worse, attack him. As Bush is a coward and in denial, this is not a surprise.

Haven’t we had enough of this? (According to our email, 95% of our viewers’ responses to Mr. Harring’s explosive investigations have commented that they have certainly had enough. We have also been flooded with additions to the casualty lists that have to be carefully checked before a future posting. Ed) Brian Harring

The mass graves for unreported dead GIs in Iraq finally uncovered

AFP- There has been a total news blackout on the exhumation of mass graves of unreported U.S. military dead in areas of western Iraq.

US military aircraft flew over these areas and tossed out large numbers of black and white composition bags over that area which contains several mass graves for American dead soldiers.. These bodies were buried after fierce fighting in the area and not, as often stated, listed in the DoD daily casualty lists or considered for shipment back to the United States. Mortuary facilities in occupied Iraq are very poor, or non-existent, and far more of the dead are simply buried where they fell rather than attempting to ship the remains back to Baghdad for proper burial procedures. Under the prevailing conditions, embalming is impossible and refrigerated storage non-existent.

U.S. forces used heavy earth-moving equipment to prepare mass graves where dead soldiers were quickly buried because the high temperatures caused rapid decay. These mass grave areas had subsequently attracted stray dogs and they quickly dug up and ate some of the bodies, which were only partly, or lightly buried. Hence, body parts and bones were spread all over the desert.

The bodies, or what was left of them, were later all exhumed by U.S. units and put into the official body bags for eventual shipment to the Dover AFB. There exist a number of photographs of this gruesome activity, taken by foreign journalists, but the majority of them have been seized and redacted by Military Police acting on specific orders from the Department of Defense.

Note: Readers wishing to see dozens of such pictures in addition to many official papers concerning the faked death lists are requested to contact: Jack Steinhilper at jsteinhilper@mindspring.com

Comment: There is additional information that would indicate that local Iraqis, outraged by their perceptions that American troops slaughtered civilians and desecrated mosques, have dug up and brutally mutilated many bodies, displaying body parts as trophies of their grisly hunts. There are color pictures of such things but sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof and we decline to publish these. Ed.

The Full, Official U.S. Army Iraqi Casualty list, Alphabetized

This is a fully alphabetized list of the official number of U.S. Army dead in Iraq from the beginning of the Iraqi war through June 6, 2005.

There are many more deaths that have not appeared on the official lists because the DoD has taken the tricky tack of loading dying and probable fatalities onto aircraft and flying them out of Iraq to bases and hospitals outside of that country. So, if a GI is dying or has every expectation of dying, he or she is loaded on an aircraft and their subsequent deaths are not publicly reported as “Combat Deaths.” Of course the families or survivors are certainly notified of the death but the public is not.

The purpose of publishing this alphabetical name list (which I will update monthly) is to encourage the families and friends of survivors to contact us with the names of these unreported casualties.

We suggest supplying the name, rank and unit of the individual as well as contact information for verification.

We have encountered serious objections to our publishing the original DoD pdf file that lists the actual dead, injured, deserters and so on so we are getting around this by publishing the original cover page and then reformatting the information contained inside the cover.

Because there are over a hundred pages of the dead alone, this project will take some time because I am doing it myself, without any assistance and please do not volunteer to assist me.

And to those who keep writing to me in care of TBR News wanting to know my name and address “so they can help me” or “because if you don’t give me your name, SS number and address, I just can’t believe a word you say.” I can tell you that I have been around the academic world long enough to have learned not to give away my lengthy research to someone eager to get the credit, and the money, for my work.

They say that for an academic (or any writer for that matter) to steal from one person is plagiarism while stealing from many (like the late Steven Ambrose) is really research. And yes, I am working on a book and yes, I have a publisher so be good enough to bug off and do your own work.

As far as the demanders of my name and address are concerned, go spy on your neighbors and then run, panting, to the FBI to get your plastic G-Man pin and tin toy badge. Or better still, stick your head in a chipper and turn it on.

And to the hysterical bloggers who claim I don’t exist or are made out of paper, I wish you would stop babbling because I laugh so hard I get a stricture. A word of advice to same: Take your Midol like good little girls and kiss the rabbit goodnight. Since I put up my email address, I have received an amazing amount of hate mail from deluded, dimbulb Bush supporters and jealous, illiterate bloggers. I am sure the writers feel that they have really put me in my place but all of these pathetic emails are filled with obscene phrases, learned from their mothers, and terrible spelling. Always remember that it is the kicked dog that yelps. One of my co-workers said, in reading over the daily garbage, that the writers were brainless …holes but I corrected him. While they do not have actual brains, they do have knots on the top of their spinal columns to prevent their flabby asses from falling onto the sidewalk..

To date (26 July, 2005) we have received, and verified, 52 names of dead GIs that somehow never made it onto any Pentagon casualty list. We have received another 47 names which either cannot be verified to our satisfaction or are obvious plants intended to deceive. The DoD and its friends are neither particularly subtle or intelligent.

The U.S. Department of Defense Casualty Statistics-

I have put together a comprehensive analysis of the Iraqi War casualties from the beginning of the war in March of 2003 and continuing through the occupation and resistance to date.. I show a chronology supported with documents of the official death lists, and the then the official Supplemental List of the actual deaths and injuries from the DoD The actual death tolls are far in excess of the official ones posted by the DoD. They have initially not publicly reported any deaths outside the theater of operations, i.e., hospital deaths at Walter Reed, Landstuhl in Germany and so on., however, with increasing negative publicity, the DoD is now including a very few names of military personnel who have died in hospital out of theater. Not good enough, dudes!
