What is the current total death count of civilians in Iraq not counting police?

Question

Please do not answer if you can not put a link to your source.

If your link is "impeachbush.com, bushsucks.com or blah,blah,blah.com", move on to answer with your drivel elsewhere.

I keep hearing 100,000+ but I have just read a different figure.

Police deaths are counted as non civilian since killing a cop is considered an attack on the government.

DING DING DING, time is up.

"On 1 May 2006 it put the total number of civilian dead at 34,830 to 38,990 and the number of police dead at 2,059. "

I wonder what % of the dead are at the hands of fellow Muslims. I would suspect 99%.

BBC is about a liberal a media source as you get and if you read the article it explains how they arrived at their numbers.

And for the guy who put al jezeera as a source, that was a stinking joke right? Why not put binladen.com

Hey bunchik - you actually answered a question without bashing any gays for once. Ignorant, but not homophobic for a change. I guess the constant chastising is finally paying off. I just wish you hadn't been such a slow learner which brings us to your answewr. Ignorant, but not homophobic for a change.

Answer 1

Why not counting police??

Answer 2

This site does not define their use of the word "civilian," so I cannot be certain it does not include police, but they say that 38,254 to 42,646 have died as a direct result of the occupation. This is definitely a low number, as it only counts deaths reported in the media.

Answer 3

The Iraq Body Count’s (IBC) latest figures, based on media reports and more than a dozen counting projects from independent investigators in and outside of the country, said between 6055 and 7706 civilians were killed.

FYI, according to my Iraqi brother-in-law, Iraqi police officers are not soldiers, therefore they are considered civilians in Iraq. Or, what used to be Iraq.

Answer 5

Would they have been better to have died under Saddam's torture. Death is death, true..but a torturous and slow death has got to hurt and be a slow, painful way to die.How dare someone blame Pres Bush for those deaths!!
