I saw where the bogus study was funded by George Soros. Tell me how bad I would feel if I saw a Drudge headline tomorrow that reads, “George Soros Found Dead Hanging from a Tall Oak in Central Park”.

Why would the Times run such a series?

Unbiased "journalistic" conveyance of the news via "reporting" of course. /s

in 2006, the medical journal The Lancet reported that the Iraq war had killed over 650,000 civilians, over 90 percent victims of the US military. That’s 500 civilians a day.

There was an article in last week's WSJ stating that George Soros had helped with funding the Lancet study. One of his lackeys wrote a letter later that week insisting that so august a journal as The Lancet would never let itself be influenced by George Soros. She then went on to defend the study itself, implying that the study just had to be correct or pretty close, saying that the number of Iraqi dead was almost surely higher than the US Army's statistics show.

These creeps never die out. I remember as a kid hearing the liberals whine and wring their hands over the possibility of our returning WWII troops being so crazed with bloodlust that they will contine to kill when they got home.

What happened? The next thing the liberals were complaining about was the “boring” 50s. It seemed that all those kill-crazy veterans had had enough violence to last them a lifetime and all they wanted to do is make up those lost 4-5 years by knuckling down and being successful.

or like “Iowahawk meticulously drew his own “patchwork picture” of another “quiet phenomenon”: the Denver newspaper columnist arrested for stalking, the Cincinnati TV reporter facing child-molestation charges, the Philadelphia anchorwoman who went on a violent drunken rampage. As Iowahawk’s one-man investigative unit wondered:

“Unrelated incidents, or mounting evidence that America’s newsrooms have become a breeding ground for murderous, drunk, gun-wielding child molesters?”

methinks the new media is doing a great job shining the light back onto the pencil necked press....perhaps the light needs turned toward billionaire anti-Americans with BDS.

I guess Dan Rather contributed to the story.

Thanks for the ping ND. Steyn et al do real investigative journalism(finding the actual statistics) while calling the NYT to the mat for NOT doing real investigative journalism while exposing them for the real anti-military group of hacks they are. Love it.
