number of 100,000 was arrived at by means similar to polling in the US, where a small sample is extrapolated to a larger population. It was a scientific study and it passed peer review. I find that acceptable. For those who counted by hand, each and every one of 20,000 civilian deaths -- that is heroic work. It is a small surprise given the situation in Iraq and the speed with which the dead are buried that the other 80,000 or so remain uncounted.
