Riverbend posts again, supports Lancet study

Riverbend has posted again after a disturbingly long hiatus:
The latest horror is the study published in the Lancet Journal concluding that over 600,000 Iraqis have been killed since the war. Reading about it left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it sounded like a reasonable figure. It wasn't at all surprising. On the other hand, I so wanted it to be wrong. But... who to believe? Who to believe....? American politicians... or highly reputable scientists using a reliable scientific survey technique?
There had been speculation that she had been killed in the occupation/civil war. The folks on Kos are relieved she's alive. I add my voice to the chorus.
