    Questionable way they are keeping score of territory controlled...and I'd really like some other totals, like civillians reported executed or killed by B'aathists.

    http://www.iraqbodycount.net/ is an independent group from Britian that is keeping a tally of civillian deaths (cause by both US and Iraq) based on compilations of multiple news reports.

    Here is their latest low/high count:

    Again, that's worthless to me without a breakdown of which side is responsible for which deaths, and including as thorough accounting as possible of the war crimes which are being committed.

    If you go to the Iraq body count site a full breakdown of where and how the civillian deaths occured (and the relevent information source) is provided.

    Sorry, but that's funny in a twisted sorta way. You gotta give the web master credit for the creative graphics and "comprehensive statistical approach", given the satirical nature of the site. Thanks for the link. It provided a brief moment of humor when it's frankly in short supply at the moment.
