So, how long will we have to wait until a study that gives a far lower number of casualties makes headline news

...when such a survey is roundly lambasted for using poor experimental protocol probably.

And their range was 300k - 900k.

So what number do you like for the number of dead Iraqis YOU are directly responsible for?

A year later, are we at the 600k number yet?

How many more dead do YOU want to be DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR?

None? Then start agitating.

Because FB has failed to follow a single one of his demands on others he is a freaking genius, and morally superior.

Status: offline 		This study is actually a year old. But remember it when the war apologists try to cite the Iraq Body Count figures, which are an extremely low-ball count of only violence-related deaths that have been confirmed by multiple media sources (in a country in which there was severe censorship over just this kind of reporting - civilian deaths - by the Coalition Provisional Authority set up by those champions of free media themselves, the Bush Administration).

Deaths due to the war count ALL deaths due to the war - even when they are indirectly caused by a crushed medical and public sanitation infrastructure due to our magnanimous self-confirmed decision to invade a country that hadn't attacked us.

pardom me while I empty my Swiss and Cayman Island secret accounts.,
