A British survey offers the highest estimate to date. At least 4 die in a Sadr City car bombing.

BAGHDAD -- -- A car bomb blew up in the capital's Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Sadr City on Thursday, killing at least four people, as a new survey suggested that the civilian death toll from the war could be more than 1 million.

The figure from ORB, a British polling agency that has conducted several surveys in Iraq, followed statements this week from the U.S. military defending itself against accusations it was trying to play down Iraqi deaths to make its strategy appear successful.

3. Anyone notice that Jesus doesn't bother to set them straight on that either?
My aunt thinks god woke her up one morning to tell her to pray for her niece who was in some kind of accident.

So Jesus woke my aunt to tell her to remind him to help out in a situation that he already knew about, but when a million of his children in another land are being attacked and killed over a complete pack of lies, Jesus doesn't bother to mention to any of his followers that there were no WMDs, no threat, no reason to attack.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
