The office of Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., has issued the following news release:
U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) today at an oversight hearing on electrocution-related deaths in Iraq, released a letter to General David Petraeus on testimony he gave stating that 13 individuals, not 12 as originally thought, have been electrocuted in Iraq since September 2003. In the letter, Senator Casey specifically addressed an Army safety report issued in October of 2004 which stated that several soldiers were shocked while in the shower.
"American soldiers knowingly take on the risk that they may die in combat. But they should not fear death while taking a shower or washing a Humvee," said Senator Casey.
