There is a vigil at Grand Army Plaza right now for the 3000 troops who have died in Iraq. 6-7 p.m. Tuesday night.

Iraq reported Tuesday that about 12,000 civilians were killed last year — the third full year since the U.S.-led invasion — with a dramatic rise in the last three months, when 5,000 died. Only about half as many Iraqi soldiers died in 2006 as American troops.

Come together with us in sorrow and anger to mourn the loss of all lives, American and
Iraqi, civilian and military in this senseless and wasteful war. National demonstrations marking this grim milestone, coordinated by American Friends Service Committee.
