(410 posts)72. US responsible for 130,000 documented deaths of innocents ==> industrialized killing
and as far as Industrial killing recall that in the months leading up to the invasion, Cheney was holding secret meetings with executives from all the major oil companies to determine how they should divide up the spoils.
100% documented deaths
low count - 130,000 http://www.iraqbodycount.org/
Deaths were frequently undocumented in the killing fields of Iraq.
high count - 500,000 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/15/iraq-death-toll_n_4102855.html
Other studies have put total near 1,000,000
I suggest we set an example for Snowden by putting James Clapper on trial for lying to Congress. A potentially much great offense than anything Snowden did.

Snowden was a network administrator. He had nothing to do with 'following illegal orders'.
