Hat tip to IraqSlogger, iCasualties.org, the unofficial and most accurate tracker of the “Coalitions” KIAs in Iraq, shows 3,000 military deaths in Iraq as of Dec 30, 2006. See iCasualties’ Iraq Coalition Casualty Count that also shows, as of Dec 2, 2006, nearly 47,000 non-mortal casualties.

Don’t ignore the contractor casualty count page showing a 377 KIAs, a number they know is not comprehensive.
