Hey Bobert: Your words matter, once you say something it is said and you have to live with it, You can't sneak away from it by accusing somebody else of being sneaky.

Now in that big bad study you use like a bludgeon to bully Tbus with, what was the base line they used?

Come to find out, they cherry picked their baseline from a short little period with very little extermination by the Saddam regime. That blows that study away, exposes their bias and subjective results.

Tom Grey answers David Crow's request the empirical basis for his statement on the number of dead under Saddam Hussein.
Here is an excerpt:"Along with other human rights organizations, The Documental Centre for Human Rights in Iraq has compiled documentation on over 600,000 civilian executions in Iraq. Human Rights Watch reports that in one operation alone, the Anfal, Saddam killed 100,000 Kurdish Iraqis. Another 500,000 are estimated to have died in Saddam's needless war with Iran."
