This isn't the first time a death count has been in error. If memory serves me, there were rumors that there were upwards of 10,000 American troops dead in Iraq; the number seems to have been based on a casualty count of all injuries to all combatants, which included minor injuries in the number, sometimes several per person.

Does anyone know what this 6000-missing figure is all about?
