We like an honest press. This is why we don't like The New York Times' horrible story on the Iraq War dead!

Many of us are angry with The NY Times and the latest Iraq War story. We are not alone.

Check this out Huge Iraqi death estimate sparks controversy:

"Have over 650,000 people, or 2.5% of the population, really died in Iraq as a result of the US-led invasion?

That's the conclusion of a study published in The Lancet this week.

But the number has attracted criticism from other researchers who say the result is a major over-estimate, and may have been published for political reasons."

It goes on:

"With mid-term US elections due next month, Burnham's team is open to the same accusations.

Debarati Guha-Sapir, director of the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters in Brussels, says that Burnham's team have published "inflated" numbers that "discredit" the process of estimating death counts.

"Why are they doing this?" she asks. "It's because of the elections."

Yes, elections.

See Another cooked up study from the Lancet By Richard Nadler:

"The pity is that this flawed John Hopkins study, widely ignored by war scholars, will be mindlessly cited by the anti-American minions of the mainstream press. But that, after all, was its purpose."

Yes. One of those "minions" is the dishonest NY Times!
