"Faces of the Dead"

This isn't just a number. These were real people. The NY Times has a mosaic with the picture and basic info. about every single member of the military killed in Iraq so far. The Times is probably breaking some Bush administration rule by honoring the war dead. Over the next day or two, take some time and look at the pictures. We won't see the pictures of the ten of thousands injured, but think of them, too.

If Bush proceeds with his plan to escalate his war, the numbers will increase dramatically.
