The number killed since April '03 is likely north of 100,000. RNC press releases claim Saddam killed 300,000 during his dictatorship, but he's presently on trial for killing 180-some villagers. It will be interesting to see what other charges are eventually brought against him.
I suspect the Iraqis started with this smaller atrocity because 1.) it's very clear cut, and 2.) it doesn't implicate the U.S. like the "chemical attack" charges do.
