100,000 Iraqis have died since the war - False

finally, the media reports what bloggers have reported ever since the report came out.

The Herald Sun reports "A recent claim that 100,000 Iraqis have died since the war in Iraq, mostly at the hands of Americans, is misleading, statistical junk."

Note the timed release of the study.

JUST days before Americans voted for a president, Britain's Lancet medical journal rushed out a survey with the best bad news from Iraq any activist could want.

Hmm, we had CBS use forged documents to smear Bush, CBS and The New York Times collaborated on a mythical missing explosives in Iraq story, The UK's Guardian newspaper tries to influence Ohio's voters to vote for Kerry and Britain's Lancet releases a bogus survey, just before the election and still Bush wins by a huge margin. And let us not forget Moore's smear movie.

While the Bush attack was underway, main stream media were busy covering up for John Kerry and the UN. The Swift Boat Veterans were dismissed, Kerry never did release all of his Navy records, and the UN oil for food scandal went unreported.

One can only wonder at how much greater Bush's margin of victory would have been if none of this had happened.

If you have heard or read the 100,000 deaths in Iraq bull, you owe it to yourself to read the Herald's repudiation.

The Lancet owes America and the world an apology.
