"According to the Brookings Institute, the annualized murder rate for Baghdad last year was 95 per 100,000 people. Brookings notes that these numbers may be low, since hahaha8220;many murder victims are never taken to the morgue.hahaha8221;

"The King report uses 2002 data for Washington, D.C., finding a violent casualty rate of 45.9 deaths per 100,000 people. That number is badly outdated. Using the most recent 2004 data, the violent casualty rate in D.C. is 35.8 deaths per 100,000."
