		The quotation was from a discussion of the Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan and was referring to counts of enemy soldiers killed, in the context of using enemy body counts as a measure of military success.
		The project, which is rooted in the anti-war movement, is staffed by volunteers who measure the number of non-Iraqi-caused civilian deaths in the Iraq war of 2003 by sampling news stories to extract minimum and maximum numbers of civilian casualities.

		Iraq Body Count compiled the figure of 24,865 civilian killings occurring between 20 March 2003 and 19 March 2005 from media reports.

	lies.com » Discourse.net on the Iraq Body Count
		The people at the Iraq Body Count project and the Oxford Research Group have released what appears to be a quite careful and judicious report counting and analyzing Iraqi civilian casualties since the beginning of the war.
		They count 24,865 civilians (just civilians, not soldiers or recruits or insurgents) killed in Iraq in the two years stretching from March 20, 2003 to March 19, 2005, and they estimate that there have been more than three injuries for every death.
		Counting dead bodies, reducing the lost lives to ticks on a piece of paper, is a lousy way to get at the reality of what’s going on in Iraq.

		John Sloboda of the Iraq Body Count project (http://www.iraqbodycount.net/), which co-authored the report with Oxford Research Group(http://www.oxfordresearchgroup.org.uk/home.htm), said the Iraqi civilian death toll was the "forgotten cost" of the decision to go to war in Iraq.

	The IRAQ BODY COUNT Project :: PEJ News
		This is a human security project to establish an independent and comprehensive public database of media-reported civilian deaths in Iraq resulting directly from military action by the USA and its allies in 2003.
		The project takes as its starting point and builds upon the earlier work of Professor Marc Herold who has produced the most comprehensive tabulation of civilian deaths in the war on Afghanistan from October 2001 to the present, and the methodology has been designed in close consultation with him.
		The report, published by Iraq Body Count in association with Oxford Research Group, is based on comprehensive analysis of over 10,000 media reports published between March 2003 and March 2005.

	100,000 Iraqis Dead: Should We Believe It? \| Iraq Mortality
		One justification for the Iraq war was to remove the barbarous regime of Saddam Hussein, thereby freeing Iraqis from the threat of death at the hands of his regime.
		Perhaps the best known estimate of civilian deaths from the fighting is that of the Iraq Body Count project.[5] This British-based group of researchers has systematically examined the western press and collated all accounts of civilian casualties.
		The fact that the authors did not do so, as well as their exclusion of Falluja from the excess deaths estimate, is a sign that they were conservative in their data analysis; that is, they did not make post hoc (knowing how they would affect the results) decisions in order to inflate the mortality estimate.

		The Iraq Body Count site is attracting 100,000 visitors a day, many of them journalists, who are increasingly citing the site's reporting in their own accounts.
		The project was founded on the example of Marc Herold, a professor at the University of New Hampshire, who devised the counting methodology in October 2001, in order to monitor civilian deaths resulting from the US invasion of Afghanistan.

	Oliver Kamm: More truth and lies in the war on terror
		The Iraq Body Count’s association with Marc Herold, of the University of New Hampshire, is not a smear but a matter of record.
		As is emblazoned on the [Iraq Body Count] web site's front page, General Tommy Franks has said "We don't do body counts." So when it is alleged that a bomb has hit a marketplace, the only real source of a number for civilian casualties is what the Iraqi spokesmen say.
		If a "body count" comparison has to be made, then the proper one would be between the casualties and other costs of a war fought mainly on our terms versus those, including indirect casualties of misrule and oppression, of a war fought mainly on theirs.

	Raed in the Middle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Iraq had more than four revolutions in the 20th century alone, and Iraqis are the only ones who had the right, and the capability, to change the regime without destroying Iraq.
		According to Iraq Body Count, a credible project documenting Iraq's civilian casualties, the occupation armies are directly responsible for killing more than one fourth of civilians in Iraq since the beginning of the war.
		Consistent U.S. interference in Iraq, and the misuse of the Iraq war for gaining advantages in the U.S. domestic sphere, eliminates any hope for Iraqis to get their country back through diplomacy and democracy, and it is pushing more Iraqis to adopt violence as a means in building a better future for Iraq’s next generations.

	20,000 Civilians Injured in Iraq War
		What follows is Iraq Body Count (IBC)'s attempt to provide an overview of the scale of the problem that needs to be tackled more directly by those who have the means to do so.
		These limitations should be borne in mind and the present study considered a "first count", not a final or complete accounting, of the war's civilian wounded.
		Instead, along with deaths, the maimed civilians of Iraq have been brushed under the carpet, with the exception of a few recipients of "high-profile" rescues (such as the air-lifting to Kuwait of Ali Abbas who lost all his family and both of his arms, recorded in IBC incident x025--Baghdad, March 30).

	Iraq death toll three years on - Iraq body count
		Speaking from London, Iraq Body Count cofounder John Sloboda said, “Today’s figures are an indictment of three years of occupation, which continues to make the lives of ordinary Iraqis worse, not better.
		Talk of civil war is a convenient way for the US and Iraqi authorities to mask the real and continuing core of this conflict, which is between an incompetent and brutal occupying power on the one hand and a nationalist insurgency fuelled by grief, anger, and humiliation on the other.
		According to the latest UNICEF report (2006), in 2004 the under-5 infant mortality was 122,000 in Occupied Iraq, 359,000 in Occupied Afghanistan and 1,000 in the occupying country Australia (noting that in 2004 the populations of these countries were 28.1 million, 28.6 million and 19.9 million, respectively) (http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/index.html).
