Per iCasualties, this brings the total number of allied soldiers killed in Iraq to 4,698; in Afghanistan, 1,667. During this same week, Iraq Body Count lists 69 Iraqi civilians killed. In addition, a story I haven't noted in most of the media, CSM reports that half (7 of 15) of the Afghanistan Taliban leadership was arrested this week in Pakistan--where we officially are not at war.
