Iraqi Death Report

Man, it's been quite some time since I've posted a blog on this blog. I've been floating around ideas about Iran and a recent pseudo "revelation" of the family tomb of Jesus (bunch of bullshit) but I haven't gotten around to posting it. I have been posting plenty though on The Blog and the Bullet and Double Consciousness.

Here's an excerpt from an article on from The Guardian (U.K.) about a report on Iraqi civilian deaths:

Chief government advisers accepted as "robust" research that put the death toll from the Iraq war 10 times higher than any previous estimate, new documents have revealed.

The study, by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, prompted worldwide alarm when it was published in the Lancet medical journal in October last year.

It estimated that 655,000 Iraqis had died due to the violence in the country. It has now emerged chief advisers warned ministers not to "rubbish" the report.
