Falluja supposedly has a population of 200,000, one-third of which evacuated during the operations earlier this year. The report claims that 2/3 of 'violent deaths' happened in Falluja bombings, which would mean that nearly half of the population of Falluja was killed if you believe that all 100,000 of the 'excess deaths' were the violent deaths, which is what I inferred.
The report is too vaguely written and even admits that it was fast-tracked for publication and needs further verification, or did I misread something?
No doubt thousands have been killed, but one has to question why a report like this would be rushed to publication a week before the election.
