"Are the 1809 all innocent civilians or are the MSM reclassifying some insurgents as civilians"

I keep asking this question. Tim Robbins said we've slaughtered 400,000 "civilians". Seems like we should have gotten a couple of bad guys in the mix. That is while we're in the process of raping and pillaging Iraq for HalliburtonOilMcChimpyNeoconPNAC.

The numbers are inflated & include combatants. An even worse manipulation of the statistics is that a large portion of the civilian deaths were deliberately caused by the enemy — yet they’re all lumped in together, and blamed on the U.S.

This type of reporting is killing people. The terrorists know that the media just counts the dead -- they can kill civilians, and the media makes the U.S. look bad for it. In addition, civilians don't usually shoot back. Is it any wonder that they (terrorists) continue to target civilians.
