Counting Casualties in Suburbia

Meet the suburban schlub behind icasualties.org, the independent website that tracks deaths in Iraq so authoritatively that it's used as a reference by media from the New York Times on down:
"He is not a military man, and he has no friends or relatives who serve. He is a guy with a Honda Civic, a mortgage and a job in a suburban office park. A guy with a wife and a 7-year-old daughter who has soccer games to go to.

But for almost 3 1/2 years — for no pay and no glory — White has kept a meticulous tally of every U.S. and coalition military fatality, posting the names and the numbers on his website, http://www.icasualties.org."

fantastic work, Mr White! This is what is really meant by the phrase "keeping them honest."
