The Houston Chronicle is so Unreliable, I Wouldn’t Even use it to Clean my Windows

On Monday an article in the Houston Chronicle gave the ratio of wounded to dead for American soldiers at 15 to 1. (!) But last night Col. Ann Wright was still using the 7 to 1 ration I have previously heard. So I asked the Chronicle about this, below. — Don

In the final paragraph on page A10 of the Houston Chronicle on Monday, March 24, 2008 of Robert H. Reid’s Associated Press article, U.S. military deaths in Iraq reach 4,000,” he gives the ratio of “about 15 soldiers wounded for every fatality in Iraq.” When I read that, I filed it away as a very different ratio of casualties to deaths in Iraq from what I have previously heard reported, but I accepted it as an up to date, official, new ratio, which would mean that there were, overall, 64,000 casualties. Last night, however, when I went to see Col. Ann Wright, a former state department official who resigned in protest prior to the invasion of Iraq and who was denied entry to Canada on October 3, 2007, apparently because of her peace activism since her resignation, Col. Wright, who was apparently and regrettably not covered locally by the Houston Chronicle, was still quoting a ratio of about “seven or eight” to one, or 34,000 casualties of American soldiers overall in Iraq. A spot check I made of websites shows the 7 to 1 ratio consistently reported on the internet, also. Is Mr. Reid privy to new information, or do he, the Associated Press, and the Houston chronicle need to print a correction regarding the ratio of American wounded to dead in Iraq?
