Press Coverage of Estimate of Iraqi Deaths

Here is some of the press coverage of Just Foreign Policy's estimate that over one million Iraqis have been killed violently as a result of the U.S.-led invasion and occupation. (We are planning to link to all the blogs citing the estimate soon; thanks to all those who did so.) You can help spread the word in your community by writing a letter about the Iraqi death toll to your local newspaper. Here is a tool that makes it easy.
