When did the list of US dead start going backwards?

[kcass1954]

I saw icasualties.org at work today, and know that the figure was 1900. And someone (sorry - I can't remember who does this) did a post on "1900 Reasons Why the DSM Matters".

Now the fatality list at icasualties shows 1899. What's going on?!?

1. could be an error

Maybe someone was counted twice and the tally incorrectly added 2 instead of 1. I have no idea, just putting out a possibility.

2. One guy was a messiah and he got back up 3 days later.

Maybe? Either that or a vampire.

Oh- or they could be fucking lying again, as usual, I suppose.

4. Now now! The gummit doesn't make mistakes, well okay one

but that was a hum-dinger of a mistake! One is okay, two! Two mistakes are okay. Three mistakes! Three and no more! Four is a lovely number!

5. Well, why not? Zarqawi does it all the time.

7. Where is Baghdad Bob when we need him?

Someone please tell me that the US Army is not in Baghdad at all.

8. knew a guy that had been tagged and bagged

I guess the subject line says it all. Worked with him at Car Wash in Seattle....he was nam vet....He was literally tagged and bagged in Nam and
came to and stirred and scared the bejabbers out of medics/morgue. was never the same again. He would work at car wash occasionally and he would yell at himself or at steering wheel of car or at a pigeon,
and frighten the customers.
Hope that isn't what happened to number 1900
