I'm trying to find a well respected source for numbers...both of US soldiers killed, and numbers of Iraqis killed...which I know will be an estimate at best, but I'd like to find a well reputed one. I'm familiar with iraqbodycount.org, but I have heard that they have been accused of underestimating Iraqi casualties.

Anyone have sources? ideas?

thanks RD...I suspected you'd help me out... almost just pm'd you for info but thought maybe other people would be interested too...

have you heard any concerns about the IBC methodolgy? I can't rmeember where i heard it; but if I recall correctly the concern was that the numbers were too low.
