Slanderous star

" 'We've killed over 400,000 of their citizens.' That's what actor Tim Robbins thinks U.S. troops have been doing in Iraq. He made [that statement] ... in an appearance on HBO's 'Real Time with Bill Maher.'

"He's wrong, of course. American soldiers have not been slaughtering 300 Iraqis a day for the last four years. Even for one of Hollywood's most feculent personalities, this is an appalling slander of U.S. troops.

"The Iraq Body Count is an antiwar Web site that tallies all civilian deaths in Iraq as reported in the news media. Theirs is a comprehensive count that seeks to hold the United States and Britain accountable for a wide range of civilian deaths. ...

"The antiwar group's 'maximum count'? At the moment, 77,555. That's one-fifth the number concocted by Robbins's overactive imagination."

— From "Hollywood Hates the Troops," in the Sept. 10 issue of the Weekly Standard
