It excluded indirect factors such as damage to infrastructure, health care and stress that caused thousands more to die.

 

That could include almost anything. How vague do they need to make it so that this somehow looks bad for the US?

Even if half of those deaths were actually the fault of the US 40,000 is still a ridiculous number.

The number is a minimum count of violent deaths. The official who provided the data to the AP, on condition of anonymity because of its sensitivity, estimated the actual number of deaths at 10 to 20 percent higher because of thousands who are still missing and civilians who were buried in the chaos of war without official records.

Note it said they EXCLUDED that stuff, not included it, thus making the number looks LESS bad than it probably really is.
