In the previous plot of casualties from Vietraq, I accidentally only displayed data going up to month 35 (but the fit was from the full data set). Full plot here:

Unfortunately, the trend only becomes clearer if you include all the data...

Apologies all around for lack of proofreading.

Is that the same data set from iCasualties.org that this graph uses?

Iraqi Deaths By Year (iCasualties.org as of 2007/10/24)

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.

It's the same source, so If they use their own data, it is. But their graph only goes back two and a half years, and I disagree with the way they've presented the data (not that it's wrong, but I'm not sure it's particularly meaningful to do month-by-month comparisons - you'd normally do that if you thought that there was a reproducible pattern that depended on time of year, and it doesn't look that way to me), so I made my own to cover the entire war and occupation.
