The dubious Iraqi civilian casualty count for the entire war given at http://www.mykeru.com/bodycount.html#iraqi

lists the death toll at 26,690

HOWEVER, even assuming that group's count is correct

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.

SO AGAIN, if the US kills twice as many as the insurgents, that means the US must have killed well over 53,380 civilians, and the antiwar group's count is way way off.

Where's your source Andreas?
