This from Winds of Change:

A research team at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore has been publicizing their study, which claims to show that 100,000 Iraqis have died since the beginning of The Second Gulf War. Needless to say, these results were conveniently published by the New York Times on Oct. 29, 2004 - less than a week before the U.S. elections.
Fred Kaplan of Slate destroys this study, and confirms its status as just the latest politically-motivated voodoo produced by social "scientists" whose manipulations of their methods and results are blatant and transparent (q.v. Afghanistan, Marc Herold).

So could all you lefties out there that keep quoting me this number please shut up now?
