The Iraq Body Count aims to tally only deaths from violence during the current war by creating a data set based on media reports. If there is no double counting, and if the incidents included in the data were reported correctly, their tally represents a minimum number, because media reports may not be comprehensive.
让我们来看看在统计伊拉克战争的伤亡人数统计时所使用的不同方法。伊拉克死亡调查组织试图按照媒体的报导来计算出战争中的死亡人数。如果不存在重复计算、如果媒体对暴力事件的报导准确无误，那么他们所得出的只能是最低数额，因为媒体的报导可能并不完整。
