		That both the military and civilian sectors, and the fourth estate, are expected to meet similar, if not identical, ethical standards, including, but not limited to, truth telling, professional competence, and a career-long pursuit of the education necessary to maintain such competence.
		In the case of American civilians, their obligation as citizens is for the competence necessary for the exercise of control of their military, including the pursuit of the relevant education, at least so long as they raise or educate children, and vote.

	Where is the world's shame and rage?: Civilian casualties in Iraq -DAWN - International; 02 November, 2004
		It is true that, with only a few exceptions, civilians who died as a result of ground combat were not deliberately targeted, but were caught up in the machinery of modern warfare.
		But when the same claim is made about civilians killed in aerial attacks (the Lancet study estimates that most of civilian deaths were the result of air attacks), the comparison quickly falls apart.
		Dozens of civilians were killed during the vain effort to eliminate Saddam Hussein with "pinpoint" air strikes, and hundreds have perished in the campaign to eliminate alleged terrorist targets in Fallujah.

	Civilian casualties
		As of May 6, "Iraqbodycount.net" estimated that between 2.233 and 2.706 civilians have died in the war on Iraq based on published reports (See end) However, the accuracy of the estimates is limited as they are mainly based on reports in the Western media.
		Many of the incidents involving civilian casualties cannot be explained away as "civilians caught in the crossfire" or "human error." It appears, for example, that civilians have intentionally been shot at and that it has been standard operating procedure at American checkpoints to aim indiscriminately at any vehicle or even pedestrian coming in their direction.
		The use of cluster bombs in Hilla was also confirmed by the international media.20 The AFP counted at least 73 civilian deaths in Hilla over several days and their correspondent reported that at the scene of the bombing dozens of parts of cluster bombs were peppered over a large area.

Citing "an intelligence report obtained by The Sunday Telegraph" which is purported to have employed data gathered by satellite and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, they allege that most Taliban claims are falsehoods and propaganda.

		The civilian study was the last planned ATLDP, yet work continues to resolve issues identified from all the studies.
		Like the earlier studies that looked at the uniformed side of the Army, the civilian study found that Army civilians' commitment to the Army is not perceived as being reciprocated by the Army; performance evaluations and counseling are inadequate; and current education and career development models are lacking.

	Civilian Defense (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Civilian defense is a strategy for defending against potential military aggression which uses unarmed civilians, rather than armed forces, to defend against attack.
		Civilian defense also diminishes the legitimacy of the invading force, which slowly will reduce its power.
		Although the use of civilian defense to deter attack is more difficult than to defend one after it has occurred, some scholars think that its use as a deterrence strategy will increase as its use increases and its effectiveness becomes better known.
