Admittedly, I'm not going to run off and spend time to make sure you don't have a thread to hang onto. I have been following the subject of casualty counts, and everything I have seen tells me the numbers have been grossly under-reported in the spirit of "we don't do body counts". What this "new information" you have tells me is that two (2) respectable institutions were involved in publishing that report, not just one. This makes the report all the more trustworthy. > http://www.jhsph.edu/publichealthnews/press_releases/2006/burnham_iraq_2 006.html In case you didn't read it, this link that you've provided to a Johns Hopkins page, just happens to be an update published a few days ago, and what it reports is re-affirmation of the earlier estimate of over 650,000 dead: -------- October 11, 2006 Updated Iraq Survey Affirms Earlier Mortality Estimates Mortality Trends Comparable to Estimates by Those Using Other Counting Methods As many as 654,965 more Iraqis may have died since hostilities began in Iraq in March 2003 than would have been expected under pre-war conditions, according to a survey conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. The deaths from all causes-violent and non-violent-are over and above the estimated 143,000 deaths per year that occurred from all causes prior to the March 2003 invasion. -------- > And I guess only the Village Voice and foreign medical > journals meet your standards of journalism. It's a question of who has the right attitude and is following the truth versus those who invent and perpetuate lies to pursue an ill-conceived agenda that is seriously damaging our world.
