Occupation Iraq: Censored For Truth

Interesting, because the John Hopkins/Lancet studies were described as such:

"Making conservative assumptions," they estimated 100,000 civilians killed, and that included "many women and children killed in coalition airstrikes... and airstrikes from coalition forces accounted for most violent deaths."

The initial report "went through formal academic review by peers.... Researchers... were impressed with the team's thoroughness under difficult working conditions.... They were careful and conservative in making their estimates... excluding all deaths in Fallujah.... Statistics experts in the United States who were able to review the study said the methods used by the interviewers looked legitimate (Boston Globe October 29, 2004)."

And yet:

"Group censures Iraq death toll researcher

WASHINGTON - A prominent group of polling researchers has accused the lead author of a 2006 study suggesting massive civilian deaths in Iraq of violating the polling profession's codes and ethics.

And what about the IRAQI DEAD, huh?

The number of Iraqis killed by the surge has been around 300 per day, 10,000 per month -- with 1.2 million Iraqis dead since the invasion (must be nearly two million by now).

Occupation Iraq: One Million Dead Iraqis

You clear now about those "unappreciative Iraqis," readers?

And you didn't think I was going to buy some Zionist-controlled garbage on the death tolls, did you?

The Executive Council of the American Association for Public Opinion Research said Dr. Gilbert Burnham, a Johns Hopkins University professor, had repeatedly refused to cooperate with an eight-month investigation into his research on the Iraqi death toll that made headlines in October 2006 when it was published by The Lancet, a British medical journal.

The widely publicized study headed by Burnham contended that nearly 655,000 Iraqis had died because of the US-led invasion and war in Iraq.

"When asked to provide several basic facts about this research, Burnham refused," the council said in a statement. It noted that the group's Code of Professional Ethics and Practices calls for researchers to disclose their methodology when survey findings are made public so that they can be independently evaluated and verified.

The group said his refusal to fully cooperate with the probe violates the standards of science.

That's an AMERICAN GROUP, right?

--more--"

Of course, the LYING, Zionist WAR DAILY that LED YOU INTO THIS MASS-MURDERING EXCURSION has NO INTEREST in MINIMIZING the death toll -- seeing as they are ACCOMPLICES to WAR CRIMES!!!
