Through the link provided I went to the actual report. It reads: COST TO IRAQ: IRAQ CIVILIAN CASUALTIES: ESTIMATES RANGE FROM 71,017-600,000+ This is wrong and you know it. The IBC figures are not an estimate but a count from western media. Just yesterday ZNet published the following article: Is the U.S. Responsible for a Million Iraqi Deaths?....
