Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

It's true that the story about Nikolic's perjury does not appear on the IWPR website. But it has been picked up by others, such as the vile FreeRepublic. (I just love the common cause made over this issue by supposed "leftists" and the Islamophobe right). Nearly every reference to the perjury on the Internet seems to cite the IWPR account. So at least they covered it, unlike the rest of the world media. What are you complaining about?
And if you read carefully, it says that Stephen resigned—not that he was "fired."
Also, I find complaints about "advocacy journalism" in a screed as relentlessly opinionated as that one to be laughable. What, I suppose Sobaka and Z are "objective"?
Meanwhile, Andras Riedlmayer of the University of Buffalo provides an in-depth explanation of how the 8,000 figure is arrived at.

The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
