As a last note (and as a last chance for the pathetic down voters that lack better ways of arguing :-) ): I Googled. There really is some guy that wrote a book and claims that the embarrassing Wikileaked internal US data is a conspiracy! :-) He had an article up at one of the usual left extremist sites (alternet? zmag?). Sorry, should have written this when I read it. He also ignored the obvious reality check from IBC and why the needed conspiracies to hide them isn't visible in the Wikileaks documents. (E.g. where the Hell are all the dead buried?! How could they get most every doctor to keep quiet -- if the Lancet report is correct, any larger hospital morgue in Bagdad should see almost as many dead as the whole country's official statistics!? Why weren't death certificates given out (important in Iraq)? Where are the hundreds of thousands maimed -- and who made their prostheses?! Etc) Also, I doubt there is discussion of why the Wikileaks lacked information of the conspiracies to influence the other measurements with larger data sets than Lancet. And the conspiracies needed to keep hiding e.g. data about all the maimed, predicted by the Lancet report, after US left. And so on, ad nauseam. I doubt he covers the serious academic criticism. And probably no discussion of the simple solution -- idealists lie... Hell, lots of researchers fake results just to get published. I still predict you will like the book... :-) What I learned from this discussion: The US extreme left/right are equally crazy. I still chuckle when I think about your claim that all are in denial, except left extremists... Thanks for that.
