Thursday, October 12, 2006  On the Lancet Study of Iraqi War-
Related Deaths  I'm still reading the study and its critiques.
If I have anything useful to say on the statistical aspects of
the study it will most likely be tomorrow. It is sad to note
that opinions about the validity of the study split almost
exactly along political lines.  But what is unbearably sadder is
the violent death and dying in Iraq, whatever the actual numbers
of victims might be.
