Statistics, Cold Grey Statistics

From Juan Cole:
The United Nations, which has access to statistics from Iraqi morgues and the Ministery of Health, reported that 6,599 persons were killed in political violence in Iraq in July and August--a 13% increase over the previous two months.
Please note that this is over twice the number of people killed in the World Trade Center attack. Yet fearless leader wants to continue pouring lives and money into this infinitely sad place.
