Great source of info. and a question, how many deaths in Iraq since 2003? That is a very difficult question as it is open ended with no terms defined. So how many Americans have been killed, civilians and soldiers? How many allied troops and civilians have died? And the hardest one of all how many insurgents have died and how many Iraqi civilians have died? Compare these figures to the ones you get from here and tell me which place you'd like to live:

Every thing helps the newspapers dilemma:
| A.P. To Distribute Nonprofits' Investigative Journalism |

The NY Times is reporting on the Associated Press's decision to
[0]distribute the investigative journalism of four nonprofit groups. This
ought to benefit both struggling newspapers, which have cut investigative
staff, and the nonprofits where, we can hope, many of those laid-off
journalists are plying their trade. It's refreshing to see this kind of
forward thinking coming out of an organization [1]not normally known for
its progressiveness. "Starting on July 1, the A.P. will deliver work by
the Center for Public Integrity, the Investigative Reporting Workshop at
American University, the Center for Investigative Reporting, and
ProPublica to the 1,500 American newspapers that are A.P. members, which
will be free to publish the material. The A.P. called the arrangement a
six-month experiment that could later be broadened to include other
investigative nonprofits, and to serve its nonmember clients, which
include broadcast and Internet outlets."
