Lancet Lies

The pre 2004 election lie was 100,000 dead so 655,000 dead is just 20x as insulting. Here the Lancet activist admits lying in 2004

fox new$ here says the report from j.hopkins study group was from "what Iraqi's told them & & not a body count." When asked-the study teams (not just hopkins but all said they have proof of death certificates from over 80% of the familes- keep in mind so many were/are so poor that they could not afford any funeral- but just buried in the backyard (hence no certificate 4 many). But OVER 80% from all the study groups! When released dick cheney mumbled nervously, "it's only 30,000."

(bebe... thanks 4 understanding those points. Please understand that Fox new$ is going 2 take ANYTHING they can get- if it's some Iraqi's that R being helped, thus siding, then told 2 agree, fox will report 'that'. fix new$ is the 2nd youngest major news corp. yet has been caught not just being wrong far 2 many x's but lying in obviou$ ways over & over & then caught trying to cover them up. Did O'reilly appologize 4 his 'Malmedy' rant?

Fair enough on the first two points. However the rest is unconvincing.Any and all news outlets are free to go to Iraq to report and film whatever they will, without penalty from the White House. American media besides, has long been "squeamish" vis'a'vis bloodshed compared to foreign reporting. Think of the coverage in Latin America for instance. I know that GB has asked the media not to make a show of the fallen soldier's caskets coming into Dover AFB.

bebeinpa- notice the word law we typed is in ' ' marks. Obvious (to most) it can not be made into a law- Just like the health in$urance co's can't really make their own 'laws'- but can make their own rules. When the heads of news corps are told specific orders - from the desk of the president- they have to be followed. Odd that this is the 1st war EVER where the non-american death #'s are NOT TO BE SHOWN. Only time ever. Mentioned in the movie "W" as well.

The truth or just what you want to hear?

[bebeinpa]

I read that only 9% of the deaths were due to airstrikes.

[bebeinpa]

No more than you fall for what dailyKos tells you. What law is it specifically that "disallows" the reportage of deaths from iraq? Please tell us.

[bebeinpa]

We still don't have exact figures of deaths from WWII, much less Rwanda, Darfur, Iraq, etc. ALL of the numbers are just estimates based on different reporting criteria.

[bebeinpa]

Oh yeah, Concerns for humanitarian issues...Bullshitter.

More Soros lies!!!

MIT just released a report Soros paid for the lying study and now admits it was wrong and political motivated.
