Sorry but you must divide the 80000 by the total population of US and the number of dead contractors in Iraq by the total population of contractors in Iraq. Further you must take the total of murdered contractors in that time frame from the 80000 and divide by the total number of contractors in the US. I would then really be interested in those stats. This one gave me a chuckle as I was warned by a cop not to walk through an area in downtown Atlanta - though I am not sure if he was exaggerating or not. Not withstanding murder, you can always add car accidents to the mix and my particular avocation (climbing) which has caused me some broken bones and caused some of my friends death. Apparently, at least according to some local Atlanta residents, the death rate is augmented by the police shootings of various people by charging ("no warrant entries") wrong addresses. Thanks for the pre-Friday humour. Cheers Ben

I don't know this for a fact, but that would be my guess. Considering in the time our troops have been in Iraq, something like 80,000 people have been murdered in the USA. Andy L.

Talking about Iraq, some people (don't want to take names) 'claim' its safe to work there.. and then they add you would go there with the full protection of an army.. Ironical right? Safe and you need an army to protect you while you go to work :-). I was told that by the management of one of the companies I used to work for and I literally burst out laughing and was like you must be kidding!
