Tuesday, December 26th, 2006

15 Saudis and no Iraqis were among the hijackers

President Bush has now sent more Americans to their deaths in Iraq than were killed in the 9/11 attacks. With seven more reported today, the toll is now 2,978, five more US deaths than on 9/11.

This FBI list of the 9/11 hijackers contains no one from Iraq. Yet the likely number of Iraqis killed as a direct result of the invasion and occupation of their country under the command of President Bush is over 600,000.
