A controversial study by Burnham, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and others is to be published Thursday October 12 on the web site of The Lancet, a medical journal. This study contends 655,00 Iraqi have died from violence in the Iraq War, a figure roughly thirteen times previous estimates. This report is being published, “fortuitously”, at the height of the US campaign season.
PJ Media invited our Middle East Editor Omar Fadil of Iraq the Model to respond from Baghdad. He writes, in part: “This fake research is an insult to every man, woman and child who lost their lives. Behind every drop of blood is a noble story of sacrifice for a just cause that is struggling for living safe in freedom and prosperity.” (continued)
It is a sad day when even the Lancet – a medical journal – is so anti-Bush and anti the Iraq war that they publish political oriented papers that, regardless of the right, wrongs or accuracies of the paper, have no right to be in a medical journal.
I am not suprised however, as the British media, especially the British Bias Corp, but even even right of centre newspapers such as the Telegraph keep up an unrelenting antagonism to all things American (except Hollywood).
