That is the fundamental truth of this issue.
There has been considerable fabrication of body counts from the first day of the invasion and the media pretends not to notice.
Great point.
In 2004, the media, UN and the anti-war left claimed that over 1/2 million Iraqis have died because of the US invasion. This figure was played down, down, down and now they want us to go awwww thinking that the death count is too high.
Yet the 800,000 murdered in Darfur in the last three years gets a honorable mention from George Looney.
