An ordinary “Joe Blow” keeps track of Iraq war dead

When Michael White, a self-described “Joe Blow off the block,” set up a Web site to track U.S. casualties in Iraq he never imagined it would become a leading resource on the subject.

But his “Iraq Coalition Casualty” site, which keeps a log of the dead and wounded among the military and contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, gets a million hits a day on peak days and at least four million hits a month, White said.
