I haven't seen a diary on this yet. The AP picked up the story but not a word on any of the SCLM cable channels.
The Lancet has published a study concluding that 100,000 Iraqis have died as a result of the invasion, mostly women and children.
The survey indicated violence accounted for most of the extra deaths seen since the invasion, and air strikes from coalition forces caused most of the violent deaths, the researchers wrote in the British-based journal.
"Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and children," they said.
Life is getting better for ordinary Iraqis?
Scientists estimate 100,000 Iraqi deaths
The most common causes of death before the invasion of Iraq were heart attacks, strokes and other chronic diseases. However, after the invasion, violence was recorded as the primary cause of death and was mainly attributed to coalition forces -- with about 95 percent of those deaths caused by bombs or fire from helicopter gunships
When will the Bush Administration be held accountable for this bloody, disgraceful debacle? Bush claims we brought freedom to the Iraqi people. Yeah, freedom in the form of an airstrike and an express ride to Paradise.
