100,000 Iraqi Civilians have died in current war

Well Madame Albright took credit for 500,000 deaths during sanctions so perhaps we are seeing an improvement here.

The paper that they published carried some caveats. For instance, the researchers admitted that many of the dead might have been combatants. They also acknowledged that the true number of deaths could fall anywhere within a range of 8,000 to 194,000, a function of the researchers' having extrapolated their survey to a country of 25 million.

Why don't they just make the number up? It will have the same impact.
