[Yap Hong Gie]

With Compliments .......

Khusus bagi pihak-pihak yang masih saja menggongong soal pelanggaran HAM
oleh TNI, sebaiknya prihatin dan mawas diri atas kelakuan "Tuan-Tuannya" di
Irak.

Iraqi Death Toll Exceeds 600,000, Study Estimates
By NEIL KING JR. October 11, 2006

A Johns Hopkins survey of civilian casualties in Iraq, "The Human Cost
of the War in Iraq," gave a 95% certainty to the figure being between
426,269 and 793,663, with the highest probability given to the figure
of 601,027.
The initial version of this article said the study gave a 95% certainty to
the 601,027 figure.


NOTE:
Human Rights Watch has estimated Saddam Hussein's regime
killed 250,000 to 290,000 people over 20 years.

[MSNBC] "How much is the war in Iraq costing us?"

Quote:
One of the most up-to date comes from the National Priorities Project,
and Amherst-Mass.-based group that tracks the impact of federal
spending on local communities.

Using a "top-down" calculation based on U.S. budget appropriations,
the group estimates the total money spent or allocated comes to about
$255 million per day, or a little less than $1.8 billion a week.
That figure includes both military and non-military spending on things
like reconstruction.-------End quote.
