Take a look at Harper's™ Index: November 2002. Interesting, sometimes even eye-opening.
Examples:
Ratio of Japanese killed in 1945's U.S. atomic-bomb attacks to Iraqi children killed due to U.N. sanctions : 1:3
Number of reports that President Bush referred to on September 7 as evidence of Iraq's nuclear threat : 2
Last year in which the agency Bush cited as the reports' author had new information on Iraq's nuclear program : 1998
Number of "indications" the agency had then of "any physical capability" to produce weapons-grade nuclear material : 0
