[lbo-talk] Re: Iraq excess death study up

[B.]

The Bush administration has routinely claimed that
Saddam and his goons killed about 300,000 Iraqis.

Where is the controversy from the right over the
methodology behind that number? Bush has also claimed
that they don't keep count of Iraqi deaths now.

So, on the one hand, they know Saddam killed about
300,000 during his tenure -- and by God, that's an
outrage!!! -- and this when the US was not even in
Iraq. Now that the US is actually in Iraq, the US
govt. doesn't know, and won't/can't keep count?
