war related, aren’t they?
In outsourced US wars, Contractor Deaths Top 1,000
WASHINGTON, July 3 (Reuters) – The death toll for private contractors in the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has topped 1,000, a stark reminder of the risks run by civilians working with the military in roles previously held by soldiers.
A further 13,000 contractors have been wounded in the two separate wars led by the United States against enemies who share fundamentalist Islamic beliefs and the hit-and-run tactics that drain conventional armies.
The casualty toll is based on figures the U.S. Department of Labor provided to Reuters in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act and on locally gathered data.
The department said it had recorded 990 deaths – 917 in Iraq and 73 in Afghanistan – by the end of March. Since then, according to incident logs tallied by Reuters in Baghdad and Kabul, at least 16 contractors have died in Iraq and two in Afghanistan.

So what exactly was kept secret from us ?
I don’t think most people want to know how many philipinios were killed working for a Kuwaiti sub contractor in iraq.
Do you ?
Actually that’s not even an accurate count.
That is just the count of contractors killed working for sub contractors to the large American contractors or directly for the American contrators themselves.
Most were not employed by American contractors, but by foreign owned sub contractors.
It doesn’t mention those who worked for other countries main contractors or thier sub contractors.
IE: british, german, french, russian, jordanian, russian contractors.
