Iraq - Counting the Dead

Remember that much discredited Lancet report that claimed that 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed by coalition forces?

Now, from The Times (UK) comes more proof.

THE invasion of Iraq and its aftermath caused the deaths of 24,000 Iraqis, including many children, according to the most detailed survey yet of postwar life in the country.

Still terrible but since this report comes from the UN, I suspect the number is even lower. Certainly much lower than Saddam killed and would have kept killing if the US hadn't stopped him.
