CNN has reported that the death toll for U.S. soldiers in Iraq has hit 2,000.
The "National Debunker" mentions this, but for some reason doesn't link to the report (maybe he heard it only on the TV news; if he saw the article on the 'net and didn't link, shame on him!
However, Yahoo!, which I believe also reported this earlier, seems to have backed off and is reporting the number of deaths as being 1,999.
In any case, I won't believe that the death toll has passed 2,000 until it is reported on the Iraq Coalition Casualties website. It is foolhardy for a blogger to report the number of casualties without confirming it at their site.
Update: The death toll officially hit 2,000 sometime this afternoon.
That is all.
