Iraq Contractor Deaths on the Rise
I missed this on Friday, and figure it's worth noting: The New York Times reported that at least 146 contract workers were killed in Iraq in the first three months of this year, according to Labor Department records. That's by far the highest level for any quarter since the war began. All told, at least 917 contractors have been killed in Iraq, and more than 12,000 wounded. By comparison, 244 military personnel were killed in the first three months of the year.
