Amy, re: I don't get it. What stops the media from reporting the numbers of Iraqi civilian deaths? Something is wrong here. Why isn't CNN, Fox, Yahoo, SJMN, etc. reporting the number of killed Iraqis, along with ours? Just because the military doesn't report it, doesn't mean the news media can't estimate it? I don't think they can accuratly estimate it. They are not on the front line most of the time. John

Before April's violence, the estimate was somewhere between 8-10k. The number came from a human rights group or the Red Cross......I can't remember which. I think the media is afraid of providing the wrong number. Remember, many of them are against the war. ted
