TIA, you are not reading the posts.
The Iraq Body Count number is reasonable and dates from today, 2007. The number I gave, although it is from another source and dates from 2006, is also reasonable.
Actually, you are free to take the average of the two. Nobody can be certain anyway.
The figure that is absurd is the "650,000 - 850,000" given by Lancet online in OCT 2006. That figure is ten times more than the Iraq Body Count figure. The Lancet online number is absurd.
