The study used standard epidemiologic methods. The relationship of the rates it found to rates found in “passive” surveys (for example Iraq Body Count) is similar to what is usually reported in the epidemiologic literature.

It’s absurd to declare either belief or disbelief in the study results. You never trust just one study. Reasonable conclusions would be: (1) there’s no obvious big error in the study, and (2) the study needs to be replicated.
