BUSH WAR CRIMES - June 18, 2008: The Army general who led the investigation into prisoner abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison accused the Bush administration Wednesday of committing "war crimes" and called for those responsible to be held to account.

BAGHDAD, Oct. 10, 2006 — A team of American and Iraqi public health researchers has estimated that 600,000 civilians have died in violence across Iraq since the 2003 American invasion, the highest estimate ever for the toll of the war here. Researchers acknowledge a margin of error that ranged from 426,369 to 793,663 deaths. [Read about the right-wing campaign to smear this study.]

September 30, 2006 - Congress authorized an additional $70 billion in emergency funds to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan through early next year. The new funding brings to $507 billion the total amount authorized by Congress for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as for extra security for military bases and embassies, since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Senate and House conferees also agreed on $463 billion in overall military spending for fiscal 2007, a 3.6 percent increase over 2006.

BAGHDAD, Sept. 20, 2006 — A United Nations report says that 5,106 people in Baghdad died violent deaths during July and August, 2006, a number far higher than reports that have relied on figures from the city’s morgue.

The report also describes evidence of torture on many of the bodies found in Baghdad, including gouged-out eyeballs and wounds from nails, power drills and acid. Torture remains widespread, not only by death squads but also in official detention centers, according to United Nations officials. Torture in Iraq is reportedly worse now than it was under deposed president Saddam Hussein, the United Nations' chief anti-torture expert said.

Ex-CIA Official Faults Use of Data on Iraq - Intelligence 'Misused' to Justify War, He Says - By Walter Pincus, Washington Post Staff Writer, Friday, February 10, 2006: The former CIA official who coordinated U.S. intelligence on the Middle East until last year has accused the Bush administration of "cherry-picking" intelligence on Iraq to justify a decision it had already reached to go to war, and of ignoring warnings that the country could easily fall into violence and chaos after an invasion to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

(UPI) 1/8/2006 Experts Say Iraq War Will Cost $1 Trillion: A new study by a Nobel Prize-winning economist and a budget expert puts the total cost of the Iraq War at $1 trillion to $2 trillion. The study includes the cost of disability payments and health care for the over 16,000 injured military personnel -- one-fifth of whom have serious brain or spinal injuries. Stiglitz and Bilmes also analyzed the costs to the economy, including the economic value of lives lost and higher oil prices.

August 26, 2002: Vice President Dick Cheney appeared before a convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and asserted that "simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction [and] there is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."

July 12, 2005 BAGHDAD -- An Iraqi humanitarian organization is reporting that 128,000 Iraqis have been killed since the U.S. invasion began in March 2003, adding that 55 percent of those killed have been women and children aged 12 and under.

George Bush = Kim Jong II in World's Eyes - Chicago Tribune, 11-17-03: A poll of 7,500 Europeans, done by EOS Gallup Europe for the European Commission, showed that they ranked Bush second -- in a tie with North Korea's Kim Jong Il -- among leaders who pose the greatest threat to world peace. Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ranked first.
