The Pentagon is collecting figures on local casualties in Iraq,
contrary to its public claims, but the results are classified,
according to one of the authors of an independent study which reported
last week that the war has killed at least 100,000 Iraqis.
"Despite the claim of the head of US Central Command at the time,
General Tommy Franks, that 'We don't do body counts', the US military
does collect casualty figures in Iraq," said Professor Richard
Garfield, an expert on the effects of conflict on civilians. "But
since 1991, when Colin Powell was head of the joint chiefs of staff,
the figures have been kept secret."
