Are you sure? The other 'credible' report by scientists who estimated civilan deaths say it's around 100,000 deaths...
Glow in the dark troll!
"Reliably" is like "obviously". If you have to tell us, it's not.
Pretty sad some moron came out with a 100,000 civlians killed number that's been going around the web.
Liberals love lies.
Oh and BTW Saddam killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's and the liberals could not have cared less. Deaths only count when liberals can use them for propaganda.
Saddam's army took off their uniforms and became "civilians".
Ah the sweet smell of ozone in the morning!
human rights groups have the total number killed under saddam at 400,000. they always fail to mentioned that when they speak of the civilian casualities caused by the war.

SCOTT LIPSCOMB (Assistant researcher) is a co-founder of Musicians Opposing War, a collective of Northwestern University faculty, staff, & students in the United States who came together for the purpose of expressing opposition to the War on Iraq, who believe that U.S. military aggression is likely to increase - not deter - terrorism on American shores, and who advocate seeking non-violent solutions to the world's problems through a consensus of peace-minded nations.
