"Iraq: New Survey Suggests 100,000 Civilians May Have Died As Result Of War" Wow! Even if the estimate is off by a factor of 2, this is unimaginable. And the irony of it all is that the main man - Bin Laden is not one of them. i wonder how this number compares with the number of Iraqis Saddam killed. What the f**k is going on with americans, who still think Iraq is the right war ? Bum.

Tejek, 100,000 murders of civilians (according to your article) is more than Saddam's murders in any given year. Doesn't anyone care about these murders? 100,000 murdered civilians is a lot of souls that have been killed. Do you know how many people were killed in the first year of Hitler's murders? Regards, Amy J

More Funding Helps Land Drug Busts Friday, October 29, 2004 By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos "The Coast Guard is committed to denying the seas to those who wish to harm our citizens, and this disruption of the illegal drug trade is part of our successful, layered homeland security strategy," said Adm. Thomas Collins, Commandant of the USCG, in a statement following the bust of 18 Colombians with 27 tons of cocaine in the eastern Pacific in late September. Last month's major bust was part of "Operation Panama Express," a multi-agency effort that has netted 650 individuals and 310 tons of cocaine since 2000, according to Joe Ruddy, a Florida assistant district attorney and lead prosecutor for the operation in Tampa. Ruddy and USCG officials told FOXNews.com that advanced intelligence gathering and better equipment like armed helicopters and speedboats that can now overtake "go-fast" boats utilized by smugglers typically headed for Mexico have contributed to the gains. "The drug interdiction numbers are nothing less than spectacular," said Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R-N.J., chairman of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation subcommittee of the House Transportation Committee. foxnews.com
