“We’ve killed an enormous number of Iraqi civilians, but the public has not shown curiosity about what the number is, whether it’s 40,000, 400,000, or 1.5 million. There wasn’t pressure on Congress even to find out. The media didn’t show great interest in that. American casualties have been around 4,000, not 40,000.”
