A Letter from Iraq: Sgt Kevin BallentineBy Mark Bevis on Friday, November 24, 2006.By most accounts, these past several months have been some of the deadliest of the Iraq war. Since the US invasion 3 and a half years ago, more than 28 hundred US soldiers have died. And the United Nations is reporting that in October alone more than 37 hundred Iraqis were killed.
