I guess the true number lies somewhere between what my source says and what the Pentagon says. Judging by their "no comment" on this subject that number is functionally zero.
I took a look at your source and it has obvious flaws and can't be counted as factual, which I assume you acknowledge based on your comment above. it was also interesting to note that the page listed pretty much all death in Iraq, not just civilian and it didn't appear to care which side did the killing, as it stated in the methodology that it was all pretty much our fault because we invaded (Im paraphrasing the methodology section). It was an interesting read but it didn't address what I had asked you to cite. What I wanted a source for was this quote:
Thousands upon thousands of Iraqi civilians have died slow agonizing deaths over periods of days, weeks, and months from infected burns and severed limbs as a result of U.S. bombing.
Where is the information coming from for that quote? Do you have another activist website that gives a list of the way Iraqi civilians died, how long they lived after sustaining injury, how much pain they were in and what was the cause of death (i.e. infection)?
Also, where is the perspective? With all the wars that have been fought, surely you can give me one war where there were fewer casualties when a country was invaded and toppled.
