NPR had a story a few days ago on an investigative report being done on the number of non-lethal injuries sustained in Iraq since the beginning of the war. The number that the reporter was able to come up with: 9000. What wasn't clear was if this was a typical number (are these numbers similar to the number of people being injured in Afghanistan?), or if this is an extremely large number.
The reporter couldn't get any classifications on these injuries (broken arms, vs. dysentery vs. etc...) but the angle they were pursuing is that the number of injured is potentially much more shocking than the number of deaths reported recently (500).
