they are bitching about two grand people? shit, our country probably lost that many people in 2004 to masturbation accidents, and you don't see the bleeding harts putting out any eaiser for ugly tech guys.

I know! Who the fuck would have the audacity to be angry about 2000 innocent people dying? I mean, it's not like 9/11, where... oh wait. =j

Everyone who dies in a masturbation accident isn't an innocent, they are soldiers of passion fighting for their right to blow a load all over a kleenex, their deaths are not in vain! These are the most righteous of our fallen comrads, and when they ascend into heaven, alla will grant them lots of lube.

Either propaganda or only accounting for deaths registered with the MiH, I'd wager.

See Iraqi Body Count. They keep a database of every account reported by the media on a daily basis. They don't over or underreport. They just give you the range. (like on 26 Jan, a car bomb at a police station in Kirkuk killed between 5 and 7 people, so they update the minimum and maximum numbers accordingly).

The count stands at 15612 <= X <= 17842.

They lean liberal in nature, but their methodology is sound.
