A new poll by the Associated Press has found that Americans are keenly aware of how many U.S. forces have lost their lives in Iraq, but they woefully underestimate the number of Iraqi civilians who have been killed. Half of Americans polled said they thought fewer than 10,000 Iraqis had died since the Iraq War began. The actual death toll is far higher. Researchers from Johns Hopkins estimate about 655,000 Iraqis have died as a consequence of the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
