If you don't think the instability in the country, caused by our "liberating" it, has caused both insurgent attacks on civilians and political assassinations of civilians, then of course I can see your problem with the numbers.

there would scarcely be much of a civilian death toll in Iraq now.

The scientific literature compared the death rate of civilians before the conflict and after to get the total. It includes civilians who die of heat stroke, or are killed in a robbery, so long as the statistics show that that level of dying was not present before the war.

You're article tries to make a very narrow view, only those civilians with a U.S. bullet in their body.
