Statistic of the Day

When I went back to Iraq in October of 2003, the Pentagon said there were 22 AWOL's. Five months later it was 500, and when I got out of jail that number was 5,000. These are the Pentagons' numbers for the military. Two things are significant here—the number went from 500-5,000 in 11 months, and these are the numbers from the Pentagon
—Camilo Mejia, who served a year in military prison for refusing to return to Iraq, as reported by Dahr Jamail
