100,000 War Crimes
by The Dreyfuss Report

The staggering research reported in the British journal Lancet shows the magnitude of the Bush administration's war crimes: 98,000 Iraqi civilians dead, including 40,000 children. And that's not even counting Fallujah.

I guess I don’t think most Americans care a lot about dead Iraqis. I hope I’m wrong. The researchers deliberately released their report on the eve of the U.S. elections in the hope that it would have the greatest impact. Two more American soldiers died yesterday in combat, bringing the total of American dead to 1,106. That the ratio is 100 to 1 won’t change most American minds, I don’t think. But in a close election, if it affects one of a hundred American voters, it can make a difference. It should.

3. The difference between the US government and Al Queda....

...is that the US government says 'Oops' when it kills thousands of civilians.

Well, usually.

4. So, we've killed more Iraqi children than Saddam

What does that make us?
