Iraq Body Count

"We don't do body counts" - General Tommy Ranks, US Central Command

"The B-2 bomber carries sixteen 2,000 lb. JDAM bombs. If all goes 100% as planned (the bomb does not fall outside of its specified margin of error of 13 meters, and the GPS guidance system is not foiled by a $50 radio jammer kit, easily purchased), then here is what one such bomb does:

everyone within a 120 meter radius is killed; to be safe from serious shrapnel damage, a person must be at least 365 meters away; to be really safe from all effects of fragmentation, a person must be 1000 meters away, according to Admiral Stufflebeem. The B-2s will be used upon targets within Baghdad. - Prof Marc W. Herold, IBC Project Consultant " (Iraq Body Count, March 31, 2003)
