We've quietly been developing the Costs of War website over the last month in collaboration with Pinpoint Studio. This research, which attempts to tally the expense of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in lives and dollars, was spearheaded by the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University and represents the work of 20 academics. We're pretty proud of the work they're doing, and the much-deserved attention that the data in the report is receiving:
Washington Post
Huffington Post
Salon.com
Wired
Reuters: Africa
Reuters: US Edition
Politico
Antiwar Blog
International Business Times
Providence Business News
The site was launched this morning at 1am. You should give it a visit while I go take a nap.
