Re: Persons killed in Iraq
[ QUOTE ]
Does the 30,000 deaths include military deaths? Does it include "insurgents'" deaths? Is it just civilian deaths? Does anybody know?

The number from the website I posted deals with civilian deaths. I may have misread the comment Bush made, as I thought he was talking about civilians dead. I'm pretty sure the number from Iraq Body Count and Bush's number do not include insurgents, but I could be wrong.
It's tough to find information on how many insurgents have been killed. Wikipedia mentions a WaPo op-ed that estimates the number of insurgents dead at 45,000 to 50,000 (which is evidence that Bush was referring to civilians dead, not total people dead).
