I have read about a recent study on the number of civilian deaths during the last year in Iraq. The methodology seems, on paper, capable of providing at least order of magnitude accuracy (i.e. differentiating to within at least a factor of 2). It reports at least 100k civilian deaths in Iraq since the US's invasion.. My questions are:
1) Is there anything obviously wrong with their methodlogy?
2) How bad would the death rate have to be before conditions are worse than before the invasion?
As long as we define the enemy as anybody we're shootin' at, never. And I'm afraid that's the working definition for a lot of us.
