Christopher Hitchens
Is there anyone left who can defend this man? Most of this piece is fantasy and lies, but this bit is particularly desperate:In December 1995, the Lancet published another equally disturbing document, this time a letter to the editor from Sarah Zaidi and Mary C. Smith Fawzi. They relayed the findings of a study they conducted for the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization that estimated that 567,000 Iraqi children had died "as a consequence" of sanctions imposed on Iraq by the United Nations in August 1990. Note, again, the slightly subjective definition of cause of death.
That's right. The Lancet published a letter (which apparently was subsequently retracted).
