Who Killed Most Iraqi Civilians?
If you believe the US propaganda, the 'insurgents' (collective). If you read the several posts on the issue on my blog, you could have gotten a clue that it's the occupation forces and criminals.
Now, for the first time, a major news outlet reports the above truth too - the BBC:
Nearly 25,000 civilians have died violently in Iraq since the US-led invasion in March 2003, a report says... The survey was carried out by the UK-based Iraq Body Count and Oxford Research Group...
37% of all non-combatant deaths were caused by the US-led coalition... Insurgents are said to have caused 9% of the deaths, while post-invasion criminal violence was responsible for another 36%.
I note: the latter is also the occupiers' (ir)responsibility. I also note: the IBC is based on (Western) media reports, which represents a significant undercount, while health-related excess deaths (which were included in the Lancet study) are ignored.
(You find the original Iraqi Body Count report here, but I thought the mainstream media reporting is a major part of the story.)
