31 Days in Iraq. This chart of all the people killed in Iraq in January, by Columbia University doctoral student Adriana Lins de Albuquerque and graphic designer Alicia Cheng, ran in the NYT oped page today. "In January more than 1,900 people — soldiers, security officers and civilians — were killed in the insurgency in Iraq, up from 800 in January 2006. Many corpses showed signs of torture, meaning the victims were probably killed by religious and tribal death squads. ... This map, based on data from the American, British and Iraqi governments and from news reports, shows the dates, locations and circumstances of deaths for the first month of the year."
