Dear Mr. Shays,
I have contacted you before and received an excellent response from your fine staff. I have a question now that I am hoping you can help me with.
My question is, how many children have been accidentally killed by American forces during our occupation of Iraq? You may include bombs dropped on residential neighborhoods as accidental if you wish.
I am confident our government keeps some accounting of this figure, as I'm sure everyone would agree it to be an essential element in calculating the costs versus benefits of this war.
Thank you in advance,
