#1 Money quotes:
"Only about ten percent of the deaths have been caused by U.S. troops. All the rest have been the result of terrorists, common criminals or Iraqi security forces. The number of civilians killed by U.S. troops is at a historical low."

"Death rates in the Kurdish north and Shia south have been at peacetime levels."

It goes on to explain that violent deaths in Iraq/per capita are approximately 1/3 that of Viet Nam.
