Incidentally, i didnt support the war at the time ( i was 18 ) and i actually marched against Bush when he came over here to visit in late 2003. I began to change my feelings in 2007 after i worked with some Iraqi Kurds. This doesnt qualify my position of course

There will always be disputes over figures. And all of the disputes over these figures appeared in the right wing press in America (I couldn't find any anywhere else although I'm ready to be corrected on this point).
However the reason I quoted the Lancet is because the number they produced is a lot more conservative than some others.
