Well, why do you ask this? You have conceded that at least I'm not the only
one on earth repeating the 100,000 figure, so what in there is so
outrageous?

The New York Times excitedly reported the raid and capture of the Fallujah
General Hospital, including the forcible removal of doctors in the middle of
operations. That is a clear War Crime, regardless of the noble (and
explicitly stated) objective of supressing the reporting of civilian
casualties. I don't think even Fox News denies it happened, they just
justify it.

Infant mortality? Poverty? No sensible person should be surprised that a
chaotic warzone breeds these social ills.

Please be more specific, it will be too time consuming to organise all the
easily googled material that would provide such a basic background. I need
to know what specifically you think is nonsense or if you just don't really
care.

Here is some courageous reporting on Fallujah (ie, not an inbedwithed 
journalist, or one reporting exclusively from the lobby of the Bahgdad 
Hotel).
