Rusfeld's comment on deaths of Iraqis, soldiers and civilians: "We don't keep track of those" The only possible reason not to in these days of the satellite-monitored and networked battlespace is to hide that number. There were for example journalist reports of bulldozers pushing bodies into mass graves in the first Gulf War, which I'm sure the military found irritating. If the number was low, that would be something to be proud of. If it's high, that would be intimidating to the enemy. However, this refusal to disclose any number at all is a much more serious pattern of unaccountability -- the administration apparently wishes to not be hampered by facts.
