Thanks for that. You indeed had to go to outside of major media outlets to get 
even *estimates* of the dead, thus proving my point (notice what the subtitle 
of the website says: you *won't* find this stuff on Fox or CNN. Or for that 
matter, C-Span, PBS, ABC, NBC or CBS). And this number is a sample based on 
surveyors calling Iraqi families and asking how many family members are dead. I 
wonder how they were contacted. 

And they cite the Washington Post. Kudos to the Washington Post for reporting 
it in some detail. In the same article, take note of George Bush's estimate.
