"So since the Lancet study is the only scientific study that was disigned to measure the total number of civilian deaths, and since their methodology was the same as what was used to determine the number of civilian deaths in the Balkans war, I think we can probably say that theirs is the most reliable."

Well I'm certainly releived to see we have the Lancet study to keep the accurate figures on how many we are killing these days ... to bad LBJ didn't have such an accurate system on body counts ... who knows, history could have been much, much different.For sure MacNamara would have lost his job!
