Since there were a good number of satellite and other recon photographs taken of Iraq in the last 20 years, chances are there are a number of Iraqi cemetaries have been repeatedly imaged. It would be interesting to examine these and see of the putative increase in deaths is borne out by burials. (Come to think of it, it would be interesting to examine burial records at the cemetaries themselves. Chances are at least some of them are reasonably comprehensive.)

One way of tracking enemy casualties is to monitor burials from the air; there is nothing new in this. It’s an obvious technique to use to check on the accuracy (and honesty) of Bumham’s work.
