These numbers make sense if you count the hundreds of thousands of (saddam killed) bodies discovered in mass graves and identified since the war. I’m sure prior to 2003, they were considered ‘missing’ by their families. Now, after identification, the next of kin are notified that they are indeed ‘dead’. How were the samples asked about the dead? “Were you notified this year that a relative was dead?” or “Did a relative die this year?”. Similar questions, but vastly different results depending on the format of the question and/or translation.
