Sorry Bobert, but I forgot to add - The Lancet article at no time ever said that 500,000 Iraqi civilians had died. What the article actually said was that up to 500,000 Iraqi civilians MAY HAVE died.

Bit of a difference there Bobert, sort of like me buying a Lottery ticket and stating I have won the lottery, truth is that having bought the ticket all I really can say is that I MAY HAVE won the lottery.
