1. They understand the inaccuracies in their methods and maintain a minimum and maximum number. At one point, these were 2 to 1 with each other. As time is going by, they are moving closer together as they do more research. At the time I wrote my comment, the MINIMUM number was just over 6000. I never considered the maximim number.

That is the same that I heard. It must have been the interview that I heard. I will have to agree with you that they seemed reasonable, not bent on distorting things.

As for the U.S. doing body counts, I'm sure they have a number. What we don't do is publish it, likely for reasons that it will be twisted against our effort there. I saw a CNN report that so highlighted civilian casualties that it completely ignored the thousands that were saved from torture.

People opposed to the war and citing civilian casualties never seem to get past a one-move-at-a-time thought process/mentality. While they say, not one civilian should be caught in the cross fire, they would let thousands burn.

This always amazes me that people can not see that what they want is not possible. I think we call that utopian. We hope they one day grow up - or in the case of Martin Sheen, do us all a favor and duct tape their mouths voluntarily.
