I read some of the same figures Tempus read. However, that was very early on in the operation. We certainly have a better Intel now and perhaps the 7%-10% is the current estimate.

I personally thought 25% was a little high but they were the numbers reported in the papers.

Yep, if you kill someone after you surrender it is murder under the Geneva Conventions.
