Wikileaks: Secret Iraq War Death Toll Reportedly at Least 100,000 Iraqis Killed - ABC News

In what is being described as the largest release of secret U.S. military documents ever, the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks has released a trove of classified reports about the war in Iraq, including a secret U.S. government tally that puts the Iraqi death toll over 100,000, according to news sources that received advanced copies of the documents.

US puts Iraqi killed at over 100,000. I guess some rightwingnuts on this forum were off by about 80,000.

Yeah, but the survivors are greeting the US with flowers and candy, so what's your problem?

Could be almost 300,000 people killed and for what?

I love wikileaks. We need way more people like that willing to take chances and put the truth out there.

It's probably going to get some Iraqis and Americans killed.

There's an easy way to solve that problem - don't start wars.

It don't matter how many Iraqis died. We saved them from Saddam, we put our country into debt for them, and we're still not going to let them build a community center near Ground Zero!

And, we're afraid of them at the airports.
