Civilian Deaths Way Up in Iraq

Saith the Times:

Baghdad's central morgue received 1,595 bodies last month, the most since the bombing of a Shia shrine in February prompted a wave of sectarian killings.

Doctor Abdul Razzaq al-Obaidi, the morgue assistant manager, said on Wednesday that the tally for June compared with the 1,375 bodies the morgue received in May and 1,155 in April.
That's JUST Baghdad - and there is more than one morgue there although this reporting is for the single central morgue ONLY.
