Still, nothing there about torture, is there?

These 14 cases are ones where deaths were deemed sufficiently
suspicious to warrant an investigation. Here's one such case, just off
CNN now... dunno if it's one of the 14 or not: "An Iraqi prisoner who
died in November while being interrogated by a CIA officer and
contract translator arrived at Abu Ghraib prison with "broken ribs and
breathing difficulties" after being arrested by Navy SEALs, U.S.
officials said Thursday. Unnamed Pentagon officials were quoted
Wednesday saying the man had been delivered to the prison in "good
health."

They're separate from the torture cases.

This may turn out to be a serious problem, it may turn out to be not
unexpected mortality rates.

Well, General Pace seems to be taking it pretty seriously.
