This is a really sloppy article. The writer states that it takes 100 IED's to kill one american and then he "guesses" that we kill 25 terrorists in Iraq for every 100 IED's. That's it. If he has no more than "guessing", he should never have written the article.

I would certainly like his conclusions to be correct. But he gives me no reason to believe them.

The reason I give is that I happen to know how dangerous these are to make; and moreover, I also know that there are large numbers of people killed accidentally (is there any other way?) making them. The estimates are, in fact, estimates, but I think they are pretty close based on what I'm hearing from the front.
