Enemy casualty lists, linked here.
Louis Griese of the 101st Airborne, reported KIA last week, was on his third tour of duty in Iraq.
This is the third week in a row that one sees "mass grave" in the civilian body count figures (two mentions of lake TharThar region. Tharthar lies between Anbar and Saladdin provinces, and a onetime training ground for the Sunni insurgency).
