It always starts with counting
April 20th, 2005 by JTJ

A short, but touching, piece turned up on Alternet.org
today, reminding us that no matter what government officials may say,
at some point they are going to have to produce some numbers and
measure change in those numbers.  See:




“Why Numbers Matter

By Marla Ruzicka, AlterNet

War on Iraq:
Just before her death, Marla Ruzicka wrote about the importance of
recording and publicly releasing Iraqi civilian casualty numbers.”

And this is the story from The Independent in the UK about Ms. Ruzicka and the general work related to tallying the numbers.  See:

Aid worker uncovered America's secret tally of Iraqi civilian deaths
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington

Finally, a news/obit on Ms. Ruzicka from the San Francisco Chronicle.
