Death toll of Iraq invasion
Around 655,000 people have died in Iraq as a result of the US-led coalition invasion, according to the largest scientific analysis yet. That is 2.5% of the country's entire population. The study was conducted by US and Iraqi scientists to determine how many Iraqis have died since the invasion in March 2003.

I figure NPR will use whatever statistics it can to support its general point of view.
I enjoy your blog so much I have "fizzled" it.

Thanks for posting the summary. Your blog addresses numbers and you generally just post what others write without your own spin.
Here's some additional commentary debunking this for those interested:

To us, Iraqis casualties are just numbers. But, we usually see faces and names for American casualties. This is why the U.S. general public is more oblivious to what's happening to the nation of Iraq than Iraqis themselves. Iraq war is shredding their country apart!
