CIVIC Data Collection

Perhaps you remember Salams description of a project Raed was involved in last year, surveying civilian casualties.

Well, the information is now available here.

While Iraq Body Count counts the death toll based on media reports, the CIVIC project may be the only on ground collection of civilian casualty figures in Iraq during this war.

Dear Jeffrey

Before you complain about other peoples counting practices perhaps you need to brush up on your own. You say "sorry for the tripiclate post"? you posted it 4x, thats quadriplicate.

I have read Iraq Body Counts methodology and supporting material thoroughly and have found it to be sound. Perhaps you ought to read it completely yourself. Then you can move on to exercising a little critical reading of your own where "commentators" on blogs are concerned. You are willing to accept the opinion of a blog comment that supports your view without questioning it? Nobody has succeeded in pulling that site apart, they have tried, but not succeeded, primarily because those commenters/bloggers own motives are extremely biased and uninformed.

I have one word for you Jeffrey; borscht.
