| The New Scientist is reporting that the civillian death toll in Iraq has now topped over 100,000. |
One major project, www.iraqbodycount.net, estimates up to 16,300 deaths in Iraq due to coalition forces. But this collects data on deaths reported in the press only. “We've always maintained that the actual count must be much higher," says Scott Lipscomb, at Northwestern University, Illinois, US, who works on the project. "I am emotionally shocked but I have no trouble in believing that this many people have been killed," he told The New York Times.
It's really a shame that the coalition forces seem completely uninterested in maintaining any adequate count or docuementation on non-soldier deaths in the area. |
