911 is a core example of what seems to be a cover-up, obstruction of justice and a direct connection between torture and the president, the vice-president and their closest aides.

Study: 151,000 Iraqis died in conflict’s violence
151,000 Iraqis died in conflict’s violence!
updated 5:15 p.m. MT, Wed., Jan. 9, 2008
About 151,000 Iraqis died from violence in the first three years after the United States invaded, concludes the best effort yet to count deaths — one that still may not settle the fierce debate over the war’s true toll on civilians and others.
The estimate comes from projections by the World Health Organization and the Iraqi government, based on door-to-door surveys of nearly 10,000 households. Experts called it the largest and most scientific study of the Iraqi death toll since the war began.
Deaths in Iraq ‘tragic’
White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto said White House officials had not seen the study, but called the deaths of Iraqi citizens or any troops “tragic.”
“We mourn the deaths of all people in Iraq as the country fights to defeat extremists …,” he said, contending that last year’s surge of troops is reducing civilian deaths.
The United Nations paid more than $1.6 million for the new study. Results were published online Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine.
By any count, the toll is “massive,” wrote Catherine and John Brownstein, statistics experts at Yale University and Harvard Medical School, respectively, in an accompanying essay. It likely still is low, because many Iraqis have fled and aren’t there to report deaths and because Iraq is too dangerous to survey some areas.DISCLAIMER, WARNINGS, AND NOTICE TO READERS: This website does not represent or endorse the accuracy or reliability of any of the information, content collectively, the “Materials”) contained on, distributed through, or linked, downloaded or accessed from any of the services contained on this website (the “Service”).
