Anthony Wells is NOT a fraud
Is essentially NOT the UK and Australian government's response to the latest John Hopkins survey of mortality in Iraq. Even the raw figures are shocking - 629 deaths in 1849 households.There is of course the usual backlash, and the same talking points - see the Harry's Place comments, though I detect a more realistic reaction among the Decent Left than last time around. The loopy right of course is a different matter, I'll be interested to see Melanie Phillips' reaction given she brazenly brandishes inaccurate figures (which she knows are wrong) in an attempt to minimise the costs of the war.
ps I've changed the title and urge you to read Anthony's post on this subject. He raises a very valid point, that the study may be biased towards urban areas, and perhaps (my addition) the centre of the areas?
