In response to K.H.,

First tell me where the others are...there are mantras, for the most part,
not articles on real civilian tolls. Therefore there is a burden of proof
present. So that the burden of proof can handle the interrogation of it, I have
no choice but not to be a Berkelean.

Your question is also rhetorical, so I should just ignore it...you are
seeking to relativize where there is a real burden of proof present on the claims
of the figures (not) put out by the corporate media, and by the blatant
mantras of...Rumsfeld, for one.

If you look at Professor Herold's citations, they are (at least)
double-sourced in nearly all cases.

Absent all of this, I have no reason to believe anything. But as I said...
