Kevin, You should reread the purpose of the site. It is definitely all about pointing fingers.
"...civilian deaths in Iraq resulting directly from military actions by the USA and its allies in 2003." "In the current crisis, this responsibility must be borne predominantly by citizens of the USA and the UK." How you read the site otherwise is beyond me. Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/03/03 03:23PM >>> The cause is immaterial. It's not about pointing fingers at the US or Iraq. It's about civilians killed in the war, regardless of who did it. If you read the site, they list their methodology. And yes, they use Al-Jazeera as one of their sources. They cross-check the numbers with other sources and list high and low reported figures. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 2:09 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Iraq Body Count > > > Not that I don't concede it is possible, but I do wonder where those > civilian casualty numbers came from, and if they know what the causes > are, are they inflicted by US/UK forces or by Iraqi forces. > > We know that people were killed by errant Iraqi missiles that fell back > to Earth, and we know that the republican guard and fedayn (sp) have > killed civilians who so little as waved at the US/UK troops. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 2:47 PM > > To: CF-Community > > Subject: Iraq Body Count > > > > For those that care: > > > > http://www.iraqbodycount.net > > > > And a somewhat more lighthearted presentation of similar info: > > http://www.iraqometer.com > > > > By sending this, I'm not trying to forward a pro or anti war agenda.
