That's the Iraqi Interior Minister's current estimate of participants in the insurgency, with 40,000 "active" participants. Don't know the distinction -- bomb planters vs. bomb makers?
The estimates have grown enormously over time. Is that because the insurgency is growing, or because the initial estimates were so fucked? (Or were all the insurgents hiding behind the WMD?)
