The highest figure is 194,000, 100,000 was the median. The *lowest* figure I've seen is 14,400, from
www.iraqbodycount.org, which only reports verifiable deaths reported in the news. Perhaps if the US armed forces would start keeping track of civilian casualties, speculation wouldn't be as necessary, but as Tommy Franks says, 'We don't do body counts'.
