Full of links to as many Iraqi and Iraq related blogs as you can possibly handle..It's also a blog in itself and has several bloggers contributing...good writing and lots of news and information..

It is what it says it is..The number for today is 2,104 dead coalition members..
.
(Iraq Body Count has the number of Iraqi civilians killed which is a minimum of 25,884 as of today, not counting the ones who died indirectly from disease, and lack of access to medicines etc..)
The civilian population is protected under the Geneva Conventions and these protections are not affected by the presence of combatants in the population. (Protocol I, Art. 50, Sec. 3)
.
Number of journalists killed (so far) in two years in Iraq= 70
Number of journalists killed in 20 years of Vietnam war=63
In 1977, journalists were re-classified as civilians. As a result, reporters who wear civilian clothing and otherwise differentiate themselves from members of the armed forces are entitled to the broader protections offered to civilians. (Protocol I, Art. 79)
