I await Michael Pugliese’s effort to discredit this methodologically orthodox study, published in one of the world’s leading medical journals.
Didn’t you see Bush’s speech? The report isn’t credible. General
Casey said so. The Iraqi government said so. What else do you need to hear?
I’m surprised at the wide coverage the study has gotten in the U.S.,
where the media usually like to ignore such stuff. The “refutations”
have been unusually pathetic, amounting to nothing more than, “Can’t
be true!” The first blog link Pug posted
I’ve seen, but it was still pathetic. “Why were the confidence
intervals so large?” Gee, somewhere between half a mil and a mil -
isn’t that a comforting range?
Anyone listening to Rush? What’s that gasbag saying?
