"The figures were compiled from more than 10,000 news media reports of civilian
deaths."
About a year ago, a group of Iraqi doctors used Iraqi hospital stats to compile a list of
deaths and who was causing those deaths. Bush's gangsta army was the winner. They were
killing civilians randomly.
The USA solved that problem: they forbade the hospitals from collecting or sharing such
information.
Another problem: Much of Iraq is no-go for journalists. Iraq is mostly a blackout to the
news media.
Thus the new study can only report what's been reported, but that doesn't cover
everything.
Odd that the New York Times doesn't mention any of this. But that would make them look less
than competent, wouldn't it? All the news that's already been printed to fit.
