That's a lot of dead folks: Group: 25,000 Civilian Deaths in Iraq AP - 27 minutes ago LONDON - A British research group said Tuesday that about 25,000 civilians died in violence in Iraq in the two years after the start of the U.S.-led invasion. Iraq Body Count compiled its figures of killings that occurred between March 20, 2003 and March 19, 2005 from reports by the major news agencies, including The Associated Press and British and American newspapers. The results could not be independently confirmed. U.S. and coalition authorities say they have not kept a count of such deaths and Iraqi accounting has proven to be haphazard. Since it is only compiled from reports, it's probably quite light in terms of deaths. What do you bet the real numbers are at least 35k? Maybe more, of course.
