100,000 Iraqis dead since the invasion

I'm not saying that 100,000 people -- half of them women and children -- haven't been killed, I have no idea, but this study doesn't prove it. Its pathetic that the major scientific journals like Science, Nature, and Lancet publish shoddy science to promote a favored agenda. Come on, they rushed it because they just had to get it out 5 days before an election, coincidence, yeah right. Plus the fact that any relative risk below 3 you should view with caution, anything below 2 means that it is almost certain there is no significant relationship, this study has a RR of 1.1 - 2.4. Which in itself shows their data is crap because you never see them with such large ranges, generally it is reported as something like RR 1.7, thats it, no range.
