It the 50,000 refers to Iraq Body Count, those are just the deaths directly attributable to "coalition" military actions.

Re: Pyramid of skulls (none / 1)
Are they? I thought they included all direct deaths from violence as reported in the media, so missing any that reporters don't hear about.

They're a lower limit anyway.

Re: Pyramid of skulls (none / 1)
Yeah, you're right.
The count includes civilian deaths caused by coalition military action and by military or paramilitary responses to the coalition presence (e.g. insurgent and terrorist attacks).

It also includes excess civilian deaths caused by criminal action resulting from the breakdown in law and order which followed the coalition invasion.
