If you are an Iraqi, how do I kill thee?

Truth is the first casualty of war, they say. One of the ways in which this is true is in relation to the casualty statistics themselves. As part of the time-tested war propaganda, each side minimizes its own casualties and exaggerates estimates of the damage inflicted on the enemy forces, strategic- industrial targets, and public morale. The estimates of costs and timelines for victory are similarly downsized.
