U.S. DEATHS IN IRAQ LISTED AS MULTI NATIONAL DIVISION BY DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

The Department of Defense now lists U.S casualties in Iraq as MND (Multi National Division) rather than what branch of the U.S. military they were assigned to.

It is all part of the Bush Administration's effort to hide from the American public as much as possible the deaths of young American men and women in Iraq.

Here is how the Iraq casualty reports are now being listed:
