Excess Death in Iraq

Dahr Jamail | Excess Death in Iraq


Dahr Jamail writes, "655,000 Iraqis killed as a result of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq ... For over a year now, many Iraqis have been referring to what is happening in their country as genocide. With over 500 Iraqis being killed every single day as a direct result of the occupation, it is difficult to argue with them."

Robert Parry writes: "The Rev. Sun Myung Moon's business empire, which includes the right-wing Washington Times, paid millions of dollars to North Korea's communist leaders in the early 1990s when the hard-line government needed foreign currency to finance its weapons programs, according to US Defense Intelligence Agency documents."

Newly released documents reveal that more than 150,000 soldiers who left the
military after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan have been at least partly
disabled as a result of service - this translates to one in four veterans.
What¹s more, it appears the Department of Veterans¹ Affairs was trying to
hide the figures. We speak with Paul Sullivan of Veterans for America.
