25,000 civilians killed in Iraq war

[Ser Clegane]

Nice try though, BP. Werent you claiming 100k had died a few months ago.. have you readjusted your numbers?

The 100k are from The Lancet which compared mortality rates from before the war and from during/after the war. These 100k "excess" deaths have not been directly linked to specific causes, such as armed violence, illness etc.

Very recently the Geneva-based "Graduate Institute of International Studies" published a report that gives a number of 39k Iraqis that have been killed as a direct result of combat or armed violence since the U.S.-led invasion (unfortunately I could not find this report on their website).

Do you have any numbers from sources you would consider unbiased for comparison?
