The medical journal Lancet published an article that put the total number of Iraqis that died since the invasion at 655,000 more than the death rate before the invasion.
Nearly 16,000 more Iraqis are dying every month than when Saddam was in power.
This was the most scientifically accurate measurement yet, meeting very stringent standards of how to determine the number of people who have died. The study was reviewed by a
large number of scientists, all of whom were surprised by the number but who agreed that the methods used were the best possible. Since it is scientific, however, Bush has to call it "not credible" -- even though it is by far the most credible estimate to date.
Notice how everyone uses "controversial" when they mention the Johns Hopkins report?
They have to, because "controversial" means "the facts are killing us."
