If you divide 655,000 by 40 months this works out to 16,375 per month. This is a huge number! Any country that loses 16,375 people a month would have some awareness from Red Cross, Human Rights,etc., any of dozens of very liberal oriented organizations. Where have they been? The US hasn’t kept those organizations out and yet none of them have reported this huge number of deaths per month.
So ok maybe the deaths didn’t take place in a linear fashion i.e. might have been 40,000 in Mar03, 60,000, some month, but again… why didn’t we hear about those huge numbers then?
I think that statistically sampling of 25% of “hot zones” and from a group of people who are in all likelihood as most people do, make things larger and more dire than it really is. For example, ask the average person, how many people die in car accidents in the US… do you think they would no that over 40,000 people are killed in the US? Nope they would estimate a lot higher.
So, I find this estimate what it is intended to do is nothing but help the gangsters in Iraq.
