It is appropriate however to recall another tragic statistic of concern to even more people: according to The Iraq Body Count web site (www.iraqbodycount.net), somewhere between 22,000 and 25,000 civilian deaths have been reported in Iraq resulting from the US-led military intervention in Iraq.
Add to that grisly figure the atrocious treatment of prisoners at the recently demolished (out of sight, out of mind?) Abu Ghraib prison and ongoing at Guatanamo Bay, one has to wonder what Georgie B is talking about when he says, “…the contrast couldn’t be clearer between the intentions and hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberty, and those who kill (with) such evil in their heart that they will take the lives of innocent folks…” Maybe he doesn’t consider Iraqi civilians “folks.”
