That's funny Sept 11 happened when we were far more isolationist than we are likely ever to be in the future. It has taken 5 years of fighting in Iraq to achieve a similar body count as happened in a couple of hours on one Tuesday morning. Point of fact, the body count in Iraq is 600,000+ and rising. A fact based accounting puts the number between 50,000 & 100,000. A what? We're talking about a study by the John Hopkins School of Epidemeology published in a peer reviewed journal. Produce a similar academic study subjected to peer review that uses 'fact based accounting' please. His mind is made up. Don't be confusin' him with the facts. Cheers ==bob |

In the case of Iraq simply count all the deaths. The civil service is working so counting the number of death certificates will give figures accurate to within 10%, no need to sample.

From your purely theoretical answer I deduce that you're not aware of the debate on the abnormally low number of cluster samples used in the Lancet study. Other methodological critiques have also been moved by credible people. |
