No other organization is making silly claims like this. They didn't count bodies, they did surveys. What kind of science is that? Maybe global warming killed some of them. Iraq has 22,000,000 people, including the safe north and the safe south. 655,000 is THREE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION. Are these retards actually saying THREE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION DIED?
