Wow.. a household survey, which means that each member that was killed would have been counted more then once... I.e. parents said their children were killed.. and then children saying their parents were also killed..

Surveys.. so much more accurate then the actual count.. woo hoo Iraq Body Count

I guess we're over there killing those terrorists that arent really terrorists then.. They were just nice peaceful camps.. not training camps...

Even the 911 commission report acknowledged the presence of terrorists camps in Iraq and your going to stand here and claim that they dont exist..

This data is based on 14,410 database entries from the beginning of the war to 26 March 2008. The most recent weeks are always in the process of compilation and will rise further. The current range contains 1,396–1,451 deaths (1.7%–1.6%, a portion which may rise or fall over time) based on single-sourced reports. Graphs are based on the higher number in our totals. Gaps in recording and reporting suggest that even our highest totals to date may be missing many civilian deaths from violence. See Recent Events for as yet unpublished incidents, and read About IBC for a better description of the project's scope and limitations.
You don't know much about statistics, do you.

Its not missing 500,000 - 1,000,000.. jees.. Under your estimate, over 5% of the Iraqi people have been killed.. I seriously doubt that considering that in 2003, Iraq had a population of 25 million people, and today they have 27.5 million people.. Their population is growing.. not shrinking..

And how do you know this? Prove it. You seriously doubt it? Prove it. That data is flawed and based on database entries with gaps.

Why don't you state your case here instead of just providing links.

Explain to me how a scientific study conducted by Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, Al Mustansiriya University Baghdad, Iraq - in cooperation with the Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts could get it so wrong.

But of course first you have to explain the relevance of those two links and also back up your methodology at arriving at your conclusions.

So your suggesting that the population of Iraq is growing at 10%, and that 5% of them are being killed off, and that the polls of americans opinion in Iraq is rising at the same time? I dont think so...

I'm not suggesting anything. You provided the link and now you get to explain the relevance and back up your methodology for arriving at your conclusions.

On this note, I am out of here for awhile, but I do await your response.
