where? what? how many?

iraq seems like old news. i don't even notice it on headlines anymore. however, the situation is grave - iraqis are still suffering for "freedom." last week, the lancet released an updated study: approximately 650,000 excess iraqi deaths due to violence as a "consequence of war." (Burnham G, Lafta R, Doocy S, Roberts L. "Mortality after the 2003 invasion of Iraq: a cross-sectional cluster sample survey." Lancet 2006)
