The Lancet survey put the total Iraq War death count at 600,000 in 1996. Sorry, that should read "600,000 in 2006."

THANKS for the shouts! alternative sources are easy to find. when exactly did i say "our government bombed the WTC"???? its pretty well documented that the basic fundamental laws of science where broken on 9/11.

He's actually right about the body count policy... but all his credibility goes *poof* when he drags in the aluminum-hat "our government bombed the WTC" malarkey. Say hello to Pierre Salinger for me, won't you? :roll:

how about some sources? Make yourself credible at least. The Lancet survey put the total Iraq War death count at 600,000 in 1996. The Opinion Research Business survey in 2007 put the count at 1,033,000. You can find the same sources by googling "casualties in Iraq."

Thanks for this. Great intervew. Incidentally, does anyone else wish that the Gothamist interviews had the word "Interview" in the title? I always mistake them for obituaries at first sight.

"4,000 dead U.S. soldiers, more than 6,000 U.S. casualties, and some some 82,000 dead Iraqi civilians" if a soldier is wounded and put on a chopper and dies in the air or an army hospital in another country then it is not counted as an iraq body count. 82K dead iraqi's is a farce, more like 820K at least. stop the propaganda gothamist! next you'll expect us to believe that 3 bldgs can fall into their own footprint at free-fall speed? one just from a 'fire' yeah right!

he might be projecting...'People like to fight. It's fun, it brings the illusion of meaning to your life'
