Counting the dead

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a brief interview with Dr. Les Roberts, an epidemiologist who was co-author of the study, published in The Lancet, that puts the deaths caused by the illegal invasion of Iraq at around 650,000. It is worth a read.

Dr. Roberts was in Seattle as a last minute replacement as a speaker at the University of Washington for his colleague and report co-author, Dr. Riyadh Lafta, a highly respected Iraqi physician who was denied a visa by the United States. It couldn't be related to the report, do you think?
