Apart from the reliability of a report written by an organization opposed to sanctions, let alone war, did you actually read the report? I knew that this argument would come, that's why I gave the non-Medact and non-Greenpeace sources (which are traditional publications which can't be linked to unfortunately). Note that the original Daponte estimate was made as an employee of the US government, and she currently serves at another public US institution. And yes, I have read the "Collateral damage" report, I originally posted a reference to it in #reply-18484646 six weeks ago. And I have also skimmed the 1993 Daponte paper. How else could I have quoted a sentence buried in the middle of it? My point remains that Tony Horwitz, in his "reality check on some of the whoppers", reinforces the myth of a "surgical" 1991 Gulf War.
