Death as a measure of success

Eager to demonstrate success in Iraq, the U.S. military has abandoned its previous refusal to publicize enemy body counts and now cites such numbers periodically to show the impact of some counterinsurgency operations.

and where's the numbers for the iraqi death toll...?

i have to confess, at one point in my life, many years ago, i would have accepted the reporting of such numbers without question... now, it just seems obscene...
