re: Bush death count hits 687
"The military warned that civilians found on the closed sections ``may be considered to be anti-coalition forces´´ and come under U.S. fire."
This has always been the rule but not disclosed to the public.
Rule: Shoot first then ask questions if you can.
This rule reduces US casualties drastically while greatly increasing civilian deaths. That´s why they´ll never anounce a civilian death count.
