more on the Lancet study

Since my last post, the BBC website has given the Lancet study authors an opportunity to defend their views. Medialens has also released a very critical account of the (lack of) media coverage given to this article.

One other interesting blog post (which I found courtesy of Medialens) - Iraq Body Count has allegedly gone to some effort to discredit the Lancet study. Apparently questions of how to count and/or calculate a body count have become a contested part of the politics of the Iraq war.
