| Category: Numbers We are seeing reports of a new Lancet study (the last one on this topic was just before the last US election) claiming that well over 600,000 people have died in Iraq since the start of the war. What most of the reports don't mention is that the number of deaths in the sample was 547 and the "researchers" extrapolated from there. WHWTMSITW. Go to Tim Blair's posts for simple numerical analyses. |
