Yesterday the count of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq since President Bush's May 1 victory speech launched with an initial total of 29, based on a report from AFP. After yesterday's attack in Baghdad that left a paratrooper dead and another critically injured, the Daily Telegraph put the number at 42. Both are apparently incorrect. Fox News is compiling a complete list of "Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom" and the current total, including the victim of yesterday's RPG attack, is 44.
