The Untold Story of the Civilian Death Toll in Iraq
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=16600

Most reports coming out of Iraq are built around the casualties of American soldiers in post-war attacks. Deaths and injuries among Iraqi civilians, however, rarely make it to the pages of U.S. newspapers, even when the Iraqis are killed in the same incident – and even when major international newswires report these casualties.

......the estimate of civilian deaths from the entire war, compiled by British-based Iraq Body Count, which put the number between 6,086 and 7,797

1. Thank God none of those civilian deaths were the result of any terroist-
styled acts for acts of terrorism are not kosher in the civilized world, acts of terrorism are committed only by those who hate freedom.
