Iraq civilian deaths
There's a new study out from the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland, which publishes research called the Small Arms Survey. Their latest annual report has a new estimate of Iraqi civilian deaths. The report is in PDF format with each chapter, including the chapter on conflict deaths, downloadable. There's a news report on the study from Reuters, that says the report estimates 39,000 Iraqis killed since the 2003 invasion. The story also mentions other civilian casualty estimates. posted by liz at 12:09 PM
