Even though it says 'casualty' in the URL, it states clearly on the bottom of the page that these figures are for the dead only.

true, the definition of casualty may be misinterpreted, however, I hold to my original statement.... The news mentions the number of dead, but never once have I heard numbers pretaining to the real definition of a casualty. Maybe the common person may not know the difference between the two, but I would hope that our news agencies would know better. You must agree, 10,000 casualties(kia, mia, injured, sick, etc.) sounds a lot worse than 2,000 deaths.
