Iraqi dead?

[Kevin]

I think the discussion is fairly pointless if someone actually believes 10,000 civilians died.

Remember the news when a US bomb killed around 30 civilians and what a lot of propoganda that was? If there were 10000 civilians killed, where are the bodies -- were they civilians or soldiers? 10,000 enemy soldiers dead wouldn't surprise me at all -- it's war and we are trying to kill the other guys. I actually heard a lot higher numbers being thrown around during the war (around 30,000 was one that stands out in my mind).

I want to know:

#1: Who is funding this group that alleges this number of people were killed.

#2: I want to know their methodology in determining how many people were killed.

#3: I want to know how in the hell we are even discussing something that "estimates" between "5000 and 7000" died in the conflict. Well, 2000 is a pretty huge margin of error.

I don't doubt that civilians did die. But this is in my opinion statistical garbage being reported only because it is colorful and generates contraversy.
