Perhaps I can.

The estimates I have seen of Iraqi deaths during the war so far are 2500+ civilians and 10,000+ soldiers.

The U.S. government documents are slowly disappearing so I can generally find only broken links.

Amnesty Internation reports 12,000 Iraqi's killed in the uprisings of 1991. A reference to a state department document that seems to have been srubbed from the databases mentions between 600-2000 political executions a year depending on the number of coup attempts for the year.

That could total up to 32,000 political deaths in 12 years.

Perhaps I can't.
