Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has any estimates on the number of enemy and civilian casualties in Afgahnistan and Iraq? I've looked for the info elswhere but can't seem to find it. If you don't know, howabout we use our razor sharp engineering skills to give a rough estimate.
Thanks,
Jon

Note that the count from IraqiBodyCount includes the count of Iraqis who died at the hands of other Iraqis. So this total includes Iraqis killed by car bombs, suicide bombers, and Iraqi military land mines. It also isn't clear from the statistics that all the people reported were actually civilians.
Some of the numbers are questionable. For example one report of 30 dead is based on two stories (one of which is a copy of the other) but the story isn't clear about how the figure of 30 dead was arrived at or even how they died.
