New York Times Publishes Photo Roster Of Iraq Dead

NEW YORK, Sept 9 (AFP) - The New York Times published Thursday black and white photos of nearly all the 1,000 US soldiers killed in Iraq, noting that they represented "the highest toll since the Vietnam War."
The pictorial "Roster of the Dead" covered 2 1/4 pages of the newspaper's main section, listing the fallen in alphabetical order, without reference to service or rank.
Some 100 names were listed in a "not pictured" section.
The Times tribute came after the death toll in Iraq crossed the symbolic 1,000 mark on Tuesday.
An accompanying breakdown showed that more than 50 percent of those killed were aged between 18 and 24, while 18 percent were reservists or National Guard rather than full-time soldiers.
A racial profile classified 70 percent of the dead as white, with 13 percent black and 12 percent Hispanic.
