The death toll for US troops in Iraq now exceeds
2,000. In the grim calculus of war, these numerical
benchmarks are typically occasions to reflect on the

of US policy. There is considerable dispute about
how many civilian casualties have resulted from the
war begun in 2003. PRX offers the following radio
pieces for those stations planning call-ins or
special coverage. There is a lot to choose from. If
