How credible is the "Bush Body Count" website?
I just visited there, and under "Iran/Contra" is Henry John Heinz III, first husband of Teresa Heinz Kerry, of course. I had no idea that he chaired the 3-person panel investigating Iran/Contra. You wouldn't believe how many people involved with drugs/CIA etc that have ties to the BFEE and have been (cough cough) "suicided". The author Danny Casolaro comes to mind. If his death had ever been properly investigated there would be hell to pay.

1. let's put it this way....
...the site owner of the BBC is a DU-er and a longtime member of the internet community of Dem activists. (not me)

4. I used to think the Murder Inc interpretation was a bit biased
But long life, common sense and a little rudimentary research tell me BFEE are blatant, bloodthirsty, amoral criminals. But their lawyers, cronies and control of the media make it unlikely we will ever really know for sure.

Nevertheless bushbodycount seems pretty accurate, especially in that all the deaths are somehow related to the BFEE, whether they caused the death or not. And we will never really know it all, I have no doubt.

The most poignant is the long and continuing recent list of GIs killed in Iraq.
