A Dec. 1 CNSNews.com article by Edwin Mora keeps up CNS‘ obsession with tracking U.S. troop casualties in Afghanistan: “At least 45 U.S. troops were killed in Afghanistan last month–more than two-and-a-half times the 17 U.S. casualties in Afghanistan in November 2009–making November 2010 the deadliest November since the war began more than nine years ago, according to CNSNews.com’s database of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan.”
Missing from Mora’s article: the word “Iraq.” Therefore, Mora’s readers aren’t aware that November’s casualty rate in Afghanistan is one-third that of peak casualty rates at the height of the Iraq war.
