Andreas: "Actually, the US military's records show that on any given day, the US military kills about twice as many civilians as the insurrgents kill."

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/10/30/iraq.casualties/
(CNN) -- A recent U.S. military report estimates that nearly 26,000 Iraqis were killed or wounded by insurgent attacks from January 1, 2004, through September 16, 2005.


Using Andreas' estimate, the US has therefore killed or wounded 52,000 (noninsurgent) Iraqis in the same 18-month period. Is this true?
