"Study Claims Iraq's 'Excess' Death Toll Has Reached 655,000" -- oddly, hardly any of the bodies have actually shown up in morgues. This dumb study got their numbers by interviewing Iraqis! Look, they actually say it:
Our total estimate is much higher than other mortality estimates because we used a population-based, active method for collecting mortality information rather than passive methods that depend on counting bodies or tabulated media reports of violent deaths," Burnham said.
Yes, why waste time on inaccurate methods like actually counting bodies?
Iraqi government officials put the total Iraqi death toll since the war started in March 2003 at 40,000.
Okay, so a small matter of about 600,000 bodies have just disappeared into thin air!!! This is the goofiest thing I've seen in some time.
Hey - if anybody on the left can believe that 600,000 bodies disappeared, then they ought to find it easy to believe that Hussein got rid of his WMD's in the months prior to the start of the war.
