DID I
DO
THAT?
A new study contends nearly 655,000 Iraqis have died
because of the war, suggesting a far higher death toll than
other estimates.

In the new study, researchers attempt to calculate how
many more Iraqis have died since March 2003 than one
would expect without the war. Their conclusion, based on
interviews of households and not a body count, is that
about 600,000 died from violence, mostly gunfire.

I stumbled across this by
accident the other day and
was really surprised.  
I wondered how many
other people would know
what it was.
Do you?
ANOTHER WORLD
Once again, Newsweek’s U.S. editors
have chosen a stupid cover for
Americans while filling all three
international editions with interesting, in-
depth articles about disturbing topics
Americans should know.

Last time — just three weeks ago — the
international editions’ cover story was
“Losing Afghanistan.” The U.S. dummies
got a cover story about a lesbian who
takes pictures of celebrities.
