On C-SPAN's Washington Journal Bing West lies about how many Iraqis have been killed in Iraq and that the intelligence was bad when actually that intelligence was manipulated by the Bush administration, and Cheney pressuring the CIA to produce the intelligence he wanted.

    Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking me to do.

  • @redword2007

    read: you don't mind admitting your fear of putting your views under rigorous scrutiny.

    Please, do prove me wrong (-:

  • @MrJs1G

    No thanks. I'm interested in what you have to say.

  • @redword2007

    I'm not sure how to make this any more unequivocal. Message me for these fallacies, as the studies do a much better job articulating them than I could ever do.

    YouTube comments aren't very link-friendly, which is why I request that you message me.

  • @MrJs1G

    I stated "my point" very clearly (see below), but I'll repeat it for you 'the Lancet report is a very reliable source'.

    The US launched an unprovoked war on a soveriegn nation, such actions were described at Nuremberg as "the supreme international crime". Attempts to conceal or minimise the scale of that crime is the source of any controversy.

    Why don't you describe just one of the "numerous" logical fallacies that you claim exist?

  • @redword2007

    Ok, and your point?

    There have been numerous more magazines, statisticians, and scientists who've condemned it. There are numerous logical fallacies within the study as well -- again, message me and I'd be more than glad to provide you with these studies.

  • @MrJs1G

    In a letter to 'The Age', published on 21 October 2006, 27 epidemiologists and health professionals defended the methods of the Lancet study, writing that the study's "methodology is sound and its conclusions should be taken seriously."

  • @redword2007

    Erm, there have been numerous reports and scientific refutations of this study. Please message me for links.

  • @MrJs1G

    The Lancet report is a very reliable source. The Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK's Ministry of Defence said it was "robust" and that the methodology used was "close to best practice."

  • When will people stop citing the Lancet Report as a reliable source for casualty figures?!
