90% of 750 Iraqis killed in Fallujah were civilians (CNBC crawl)

Edited on Tue May-04-04 12:25 PM by m-jean03

This was on CNBC last night. I just thought I'd drop this statistic in the forum, hoping someone could connect me to the news story it came from. I think it had to do with a UN investigation? I searched in a couple of engines but still couldn't find anything. Thanks.

That's not news like Michael Jackson or something importanat.

5. kick

Stunning but ultimately not surprising to read that final count.

That is 675 people by they way -- close to the number of total US war dead. That is worse, by over double, than My Lai. Only it is being considered a legitimate offensive action. Being considered "provoked" -- the civilians were only unlucky, they just "got in the way."

Again I ask, where is the story? Maybe this statistic is included in that recent UN Human Rights report that the US doesn't like?

:cry:

7. That's what I'm asking for--

The headline ran across the screen, I have been typing in keywords on the search engines since but can't find any news story.
