WAR FABRICATION DOESN'T SIT WELL WITH THIS READER

In Charle's latest column, "Don't blame America for Iraqis choice of civil war", he mentioned that 263 militants were killed and 502 were captured in the battle in Najaf.

So my question is, why didn't the internet and news reports reflect this?

According to my sources (and they aren't based on Fox News accounts), only 250 militants were confirmed killed and only 100 confirmed captured--this based on official Iraqi government and US military press releases--2 days after the battle took place.

So where did the extra 13 dead militants come from? Where did the extra 402 captured militants originate from?

Thin air?
