Comments on: A Conflict About Casualties http://themoderatevoice.com/15015/a-conflict-about-casualties/ An Internet hub with domestic and international news, analysis, original reporting, and popular features from the left, center, indies, centrists, moderates, and right Mon, 28 May 2012 03:58:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: domajot http://themoderatevoice.com/15015/a-conflict-about-casualties/comment-page-1/#comment-97845 domajot Sun, 09 Sep 2007 09:16:35 +0000 http://themoderatevoice.com/media/blogging/15015/a-conflict-about-casualties/#comment-97845 The sad thing is that while McClatchy is stragihtforward about their reporting of casualties, some ot the commenters on their article, who want to reaarange the numbers differently. also make legitimate arguments. The numbers, by themselves, won't settle any arguments. The answer depends on whot question you ask and how you phrase it, and more than one question is legitimate and important. The most contentious part is, as always, the explanation for drops and rises in casualties, and that always involves speculation. Where there is specualtion, there is bitter argument.

Some pundits and people in the blogosphere warned of KR demise under McClatchy, seems the papers haven't missed a beat.
