An interesting tidbit of information is that if someone is wounded in Iraq and is brought home then dies - his/her death is not counted as an "Iraqi death".

It's common for hospitals to do the same. Those that die in hospice after "unsuccessful" surgery are separate stats. Maybe we wouldn't be so anxious to give free health care to all if the statistics were more transparent.
