These daily logs detail some of the many dead and wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, both military and civilian, of all nationalities. We are not aware of any source that authoritatively and consistently compiles or counts these kinds of reports.

Note: These news reports overlap in some cases. We've done our best to count a casualty only once. Where vague reports suggest "many" "some" or "several" we count a minimum of 2. These logs were compiled by Evan D. The following news links were compiled by Evan D.

Note:  Our hearts go out to the people of Israel and Lebanon as they suffer through the terrible recent violence there.  We regret we do not have time to track the death and mayhem there.  Like the prayers of so many others, our prayers are vague and faceless: God be with them all.
