Nearly 25,000 civilians have died violently in Iraq since the US-led invasion in March 2003, a report says.
The dossier, based on media reports, says US-led forces were responsible for more than a third of the deaths.

The survey was carried out by the UK-based Iraq Body Count and Oxford Research Group - which includes academics and peace activists.

The Iraqi government criticised their conclusions, saying Iraqis were most at risk from terrorists who target them.

1. More media report tallies.

Maybe if reporters weren't getting shot too that'd be a little more accurate.

3. And that is NOT, in any way a reliable number.

Iraq Body Count has EXTREMELY limited access to reality. It's report also ONLY includes accounts of "violent" deaths.

I believe the report actually reports the floor in terms of deaths that have resulted from the Bushco/neoCON tyranny.

I seem to remember hearing just recently that it was 128,000
