Document drop: A new critique of the 2004 Lancet Iraq death toll study
Includes entire 2007 article "Comments on the Confidence Intervals of Roberts et al. (2004)" by David Kane, Institute Fellow at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University. Kane says that Les Roberts et al. got it wrong, very wrong.

Democrat Trashes Republicans
Tim Blair, Oct 20, 2006. Johns Hopkins study leader Les Roberts ran in a Democrat primary for Congress in 2006. I googled around and it's the same Les Roberts indeed.

Exaggeration won't save Iraqis: The new claims about the civilian death toll in Iraq are vastly overstated
David Burchell, The Australian, Oct 19, 2006
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20604818-7583,00.html

The same Johns Hopkins team under the same Les Roberts had submitted another bogus report to the same Brit medical journal (the Lancet) just before the 2004 US election.

100,000 Civilian Deaths Estimated in Iraq
Rob Stein, Washington Post Staff Writer, Oct 29, 2004; Page A16. Even the WaPo casts doubt on the study and quotes Human Rights Watch senior military analyst Marc E. Garlasco saying "The methods that they used are certainly prone to inflation due to overcounting" & "These numbers seem to be inflated." (But look at article's title! An old journalistic trick -- the reader who only glances takes only the propaganda in.)

Bogus Lancet Study

Comment on "Bogus Lancet Study"
AMMackay, Chicago Boyz, Oct 29, 2004. Not only did the study's lead author Les Roberts submit it to the Lancet on condition that it be published before the 2004 US election, but also, as MacKay points out, the peer review process was extraordinarily compressed.
