the dead can't count, but the dead do count

* "TalkLeft.com, created by Denver, Colo., defense attorney Jeralyn Merritt--one of Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh's principal trial lawyers...." (link)
who knew? i cant quite remember the rules - are we sposed to hate her cos she loves terrorists? hate her because she thinks terrorists deserve court-time? love her becuase she loves christians?
hate her cos she's from colorado? because she's a woman? because she's a trial lawyer? love her becuase she believes in the justice system? somebody help. pleeeeaassseeee. what page do i turn to?

* btw - if there's one thing im sick-to-fucking-death-of-hearing, it's the 'tens of thousands' of dead iraqis. the proximate cause of my fury is andrew sullivans' 'mistakes? ive made a few' - and i see similar things in leftblogsylvania: 'up to a hundred thousand'. ive brought this up a 100 times before and i know that the degenerati cant count - but the best scientific study that was done indicated that their INTENTIONALLY CONSERVATIVE guess was that there were 100,000 dead iraqis becuase of the invasion - that is ON TOP OF the criminal rates of deaths from the sanctions - and the 100,000 number was FUDGED downwards by excluding fallujah and that study was completed 20 FUCKING MONTHS AGO.

the dead can't count, but the dead do count.

(and if any repugs wanna dispute the study, its from Johns Hopkins - Wolfowitz' alma mater - and they put him in charge of the World Bank. pick yer argument, wingnuts)

This from Andrew Cockburn on deaths in Iraq: "The true number is probably hitting around 180,000 by now, with a possibility, as we shall see, that it has reached as high as half a million." (link)

I wonder how long John Howard would have lasted had he advocated cutting food and medical supplies to Australian kids? I've written a number of letters to newspapers about this crime against humanity yet they never get published. The conceit, hypocracy and cowardice of these people is unbelievable.
