Jousting with the Lancet: Pajamas Media Interviews Professor Gilbert Burnham
Over the last couple of years there have been a few different sources suggesting the number of dead were in the hundreds of thousands. If you regularly read the blogs of those who live in Iraq and Baghdad, you will find the conditions there are very bad and have been getting steadily worse each month. Some bloggers have even disappeared. Numbers can always be skewed — just look at the last two US elections. If you want truth, people, you are going to have to do your own research at some point, and do some of your own digging. Relying on one source should not be your news input that affects your decisions. Read many sources before making a decision. The news media no longer supplies objective truth of any kind. If you see a number such as 600,000 dead, you owe it to yourself to research this and then share your research. Go out and find the facts and make the phone calls. Talk to people IN IRAQ — most of all.
