melons as a US patrol was passing. A civilian died.
Again, there was no official account of these deaths. They were not recorded

press. Like the bodies in the Baghdad city mortuary, they did not exist.
Debate Rages over Number of Civilians Killed in Conflict
The number of Iraqis killed since March 2003 has long been a matter of
fierce debate, in the absence of any figures from American and British military
or civilian officials on the spot.
"We don't do body counts," was the terse comment of General Tommy Franks,
commander of the US-led invasion - though it has been claimed that the Pentagon
does in fact keep a running total, which it refuses to make public, for fear
of increasing public doubts about the war. Undoubtedly however the figure
for Iraqi civilians dwarfs the toll of US and British troops, which is meticulously
recorded. Some 1,850 American and almost 100 British soldiers have been killed.
In addition at least 12,000 US soldiers have been wounded. But according
to the Iraq Body Count (IBC), a non-profit project regarded as the most authoritative
independent source on Iraqi casualties, the civilian toll as of yesterday
was a minimum of 23,589, and a maximum of 26,

ely is that's what's needed. These
devices can also be used as 1:1 balancing transformers for things like
RNC's, etc.
Plus.........they don't make them any more so one of these would feel right
at home here at the studio of the living dead.
