'Thanks to an investigation by the Iraqi Ministry of Health, we now know that the U.S. military not only kills more civilians than rebels; it also kills more civilians than the rebels do'.

'According to the report, which was the banner story in Friday's Philadelphia Inquirer, but didn't make page one of the New York Times, twice as many Iraqis, most of them civilians, are dying as a result of U.S. military operations and Iraqi police as are being killed by insurgents'.

'Looking at the period from last April 5 ­ September 19, the ministry identified 3487 Iraqis killed and 13,720 injured. Of the dead, 328, or nearly one in ten, were children under the age of 12'.

'Iraqi's know they are being slaughtered every day, but it wouldn't do for Americans to know that their so-called army of liberation is killing children by the dozens every week".

The number one danger to Iraqi life and limb is the US military. Bush promises more of the same.

1. this is terribly sad.

we need to keep this kicked up and make sure that everyone sees it. Especially since we shouldn't even be in Iraq in the first place. the whole thing is terrible. The only good thing is that Kerry will rip Bush apart on the war when they debate Thursday.

2. Finally someone is investigating this

when they show bombs dropping on Fallujah, the media reports that they hit only insurgents. Yeah right.

4. This hurts way too much. We are guickly becoming the most hated nation

in the world.

Where are our leaders out of this? Why is Bush and this administration being even allowed to run for re-election/selection? Just by even allowing this bogus election/selection to proceed forward, shames us all.

Just IMVHO.
