Herold's figures have been widely repeated and just as widely discredited; one of his sources was the Taliban themselves, who grossly exaggerated figures, which Al Jazeera then repeated. I believe the 600-1000 civilian (we're not counting dead Taliban) figure because AP is a respected news agency with access to the country.
