Looks reasonable to me.

But, the skeptic in me still wonders why these numbers are so much higher than the 50-100 a day slaughter it has become.

In the left and MSM commentary on this the raw #'ers are emphasized and not any breakdown, even roughly, of US and UK vs. insurgent and militia death toll responsibility. saying the USG has, as it has, lifted the lid allowing long festering political and ethno-religious conflicts to come to the surface, and has the ultimate responsibility doesn't absolve car bombers and Shia and Sunni death squads, whether under the control of the Interior Ministry and various sectarian parties like SCIRI and Da'wa from the more immediate culpability.
