The 14K number is civilians. I'm including military. That's all of them......civilians, insurgents, police and soldiers. The current estimates are between 10k-30k with most authorities thinking the lower number is more accurate. Because of the turmoil, its hard to get a real number. "No official, reliable figures exist for the whole country, but private estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000 killed since the United States invaded in March 2003." <snip> "Iraqi dead include not only insurgents, police and soldiers, but also civilian men, women and children caught in crossfire, blown apart by explosives or shot by mistake – both by fellow Iraqis or by American soldiers and their multinational allies. And they include the victims of crime that has surged in the instability that followed the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime." signonsandiego.com
