The Silence of the Guardian's Readers' Editor - Please, keep sending emails

RE: ACTION ALERT: e-mail The Guardian's Readers Editor Siobhain Butterworth

"There have also been around 70,000 Iraqi civilian deaths as a result of the military action by the US and its allies, according to the Iraq Body Count website." [US House calls for Iraq pullout by spring, James Sturcke, The Guardian, Friday July 13, 2007]

Following my email exchange with Guardian's James Sturcke and George Monbiot, many people have written to Guardian's Readers' Editor Siobhain Butterworth.

She hasn't replied yet but I am confident she's been reading the emails asking kindly to correct publicly this disgraceful "error".

Those responsible keep hiding the true horror caused by the illegal Anglo-American war of aggression against Iraq. Please, help break the mainstream media's silence.

Please, keep writing Guardian's Readers Editor Siobhain Butterworth:

Siobhain.Butterworth@guardian.co.uk

Please, send a copy of your emails to me at

As always, I strongly urge you to maintain a polite, non-aggressive and non-abusive tone

Thank you

Subject: a reminder for the Guardian’s Readers’ Editor

Dear Siobhain,

I trust you’re well.

I’m writing to know if the Guardian’s Readers’ Editor had the chance to read all those Guardian’s readers’ emails about that disgraceful Guardian’s error:

"There have also been around 70,000 Iraqi civilian deaths as a result of the military action by the US and its allies, according to the Iraq Body Count website." [US House calls for Iraq pullout by spring, James Sturcke, The Guardian, Friday July 13, 2007]

I have posted a reminder on the Media Lens Message Board I would kindly invite you to read.

Please, I am looking forward to reading your reply on the Guardian.

Thank you

Respectfully,
Gabriele Zamparini
London
