Iraq - Civilian Toll at 12,000

The America bashing world media and the left are always ranting about the discredited Lancet report on hypothetical civilian deaths in Iraq. So it's good to see The Washington Post report on Interior Minister Bayan Jabr's statement that 12,000 civilians have been killed by the terrorists in Iraq.

BAGHDAD, June 2 -- Violence in the course of the 18-month-long insurgency has claimed the lives of 12,000 Iraqis, Interior Minister Bayan Jabr said Thursday, giving the first official count for the largest category of victims of bombings, ambushes and other increasingly deadly attacks.
