The DoD has said that there were, at the very least, 10,000 civilians in
Fallujah when it was attacked,
and the best estimate was 70,000 to 100,000

..General Casey, Martha Raddatz from ABC.� When you say how many have left,
how many have -- just that some left, some have come in, can you give us
any sort of estimates, first of all, how many people remain in Fallujah,
civilians, fighters?� How many civilians have left and how many enemy have
left?

GEN. CASEY:� Martha, I -- we don't -- I don't have a specific number on the
numbers of enemy that have left.� I can tell you that we look at the
population of Fallujah.� It's just -- it's over 200,000, the normal
population.� Our projections are that it's somewhere in the range of 50
(percent) to 70 percent of the population has moved out. I've heard
estimates as high as 90 percent.� Our estimates are that, again, 50
(percent) to 70 percent of the population has departed. That is borne out
by heat signatures and generator signatures that we observe there during
darkness.� That's about as good an estimate as I can give you on what's
there inside of Fallujah.

So where are these people today?  

There are numerous anecdotal accounts of the streets of Fallujah being full
of corpses, some of them eaten by stray animals, and that the stench of
death blows from every street.  

Given the complete destruction of the city, and the numbers of civilians
that were in it, one knows that there were thousands, if not tens of
thousands, of civilian casualties.

There are fifty press reports about this from all over the map.  I'm not
going to do your reasearch for you.  Get a job.
