9/11 Life Worth $1.8 million; Iraqi Life, $2,000. What Does It Mean?
http://www.alternet.org/world/51886/

Using publicly available numbers, one can calculate that the U.S. government values an innocent civilian slaughtered by al-Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001 at $1.8 million, and an Iraqi civilian killed by Marines at $2,000.
