A Surge - in Civilian Deaths

Number of civilians killed in Iraq in 2006 by U.S. troops was 394-434 according to Iraq Body Count; in 2007 the numbers rose to 669-756. And, these numbers do not include those killed in firefights as collateral damage.

In Afghanistan Human Rights Watch estimates the number grew from 230 in 2006 to 400 non-combatants in 2007.
