Some of it seems to be -- the Wiki piece has claims that could easily pass 100K already. The info at http://iraqbodycount.org/ seems to be about half that. But that's current numbers, and I think Nick was projecting through to the end of the "war".
It wasn't me, it was the article I quoted... but I have an idea of what that number means. It is from a comparison of death rates before and after the invasion, without regard to direct cause. Thus, it is intended to include those who have died due to destruction of the infrastructure, lack of police, etc., in addition to those directly killed by the war.
