655,000 Iraqis Dead Since US Invasion
Epidemiologists estimate that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred. This is more than 20 times the estimate of 30,000 civilian deaths that President Bush gave in a speech in December.

Excess Death in Iraq
Dahr Jamail writes, "655,000 Iraqis killed as a result of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq ... For over a year now, many Iraqis have been referring to what is happening in their country as genocide. With over 500 Iraqis being killed every single day as a direct result of the occupation, it is difficult to argue with them."

Why is the American press silent on the report of 655,000 Iraqi deaths?
By any objective standard, the report merits front-page coverage in every major newspaper in the country and extensive discussion and reporting on television news broadcasts. Yet the response of the US press has been to virtually ignore the report and limit its coverage to news accounts on inside pages.
