Iraq Invasion: By the Numbers

Happy anniversary! We've been in Iraq for five years now.
According to the Huffington Post:
3,990 Americans killed
29,395 Americans wounded
2,100 Americans in Iraq tried suicide
88 % of military officers say we're stretched too thin
82,000-89,000 is the low estimate of Iraqi casualties
4,500,000 Iraqi refugees

There's more here.

Reuters' "Bearing Witness," however, is broadly praised.
Here's one female journalist's story.
