army of one

It's there for anyone who wants to know, and today CNN news aired a piece about it and it's creator.

icasualties.org is an American web site dedicated to providing a comprehensive collection of news reports on casualties of the Iraq war. The site also provides stacks of running hard figures hot off the presses and broken down for multiple analyses. What makes this site special is the pairing of up-to-the-minute news reports together with the number counts on one page, giving viewers a more encompassing, panoramic view of the bodily consequences of the war.

Kudos to it's founder and main operator who, bug-eyed, apparently works tediously on his laptop to splay accounts often remiss by national publications. Perhaps to the chagrin of war advocates, this site combats obfuscation of information---a not so unintentional keeping that affectively lends to disassociation of the human effects of war, a condition that garners greater support for the war.
