AP via MSNBC - Study: 100,000 Iraqis died in war, aftermath - Oct. 28, 2004

Science journal say coalition caused majority of violent deaths

Updated: 12:48 p.m. ET Oct. 28, 2004

LONDON - A survey of deaths in Iraqi households estimates that as many as 100,000 more people may have died throughout the country in the 18 months after the U.S. invasion than would be expected based on the death rate before the war.

There is no official figure for the number of Iraqis killed since the conflict began, but some non-governmental estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000. As of Wednesday, 1,081 U.S. servicemen had been killed, according to the U.S. Defense Department.

The researchers of The Lancet report concede that the data they based their projections on were of “limited precision,” because the quality of the information depends on the accuracy of the household interviews used for the study. The interviewers were Iraqi, most of them doctors. snip

“Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and children,” they said.

1. “Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and
children,"<<

Would gw like to take responsibility for this? I mean, would he like to up that 30,000 to 100,000, note that most were women and children and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR STARTING A WAR THAT NEEDN'T BE???? I didn't think so.
