To follow up on the Matt’s post, public health experts from the US and Iraq said last year (this CNN article is over a year old) that approximately 100,000 Iraqi civilians had died at that point in the war. In a paper in the Lancet medical journal, researchs from Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University [...]
I got this via email today and thought it was pretty interesting. We hate America, right?

I haven’t had a chance to write this week and most likely won’t over the weekend so I’ll just point you towards a bunch of important (and inflammatory!) stories over at Daily Kos:
Bush knew there was no Iraq-9/11 link - The National Journal is reporting that the September 21, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing informed Bush [...]
The Democrats are feasting their eyes, rubbing their hands, and salivating over the potential idictments Fitzmas may bring. The glory of bringing down a few WH aides, tarnishing W’s legacy (in the eyes of his supporters, finally) and forever altering the course of history.
Arianna Huffington commented that Plamegate will be bigger than Watergate because [...]

So the U.N. has announced that it has implicated Syrian intelligence officials in the killing of Former Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri, no surprise. Also, no surprise that Bush responds to the allegations with caution, knowing his Secretary of State recently alluded to possible use of force in Syria as a result of the Iraq war. [...]
First, a word about the New York Times and their new $50 per year Times Select plan that puts the op-eds and other select features behind a subscription wall. How incredibly short-sighted and foolish of the Times. They’ve turned a blind eye to blogs and the huge impact that citizen journalism is having [...]
The pins keep lining up, and if the Democrats can just knock them down, hopefully we can take back Congress and start to actually fix this horrible farce. That is if Democrats can wake up and realize there is no more reason to support a failed war.

You’ve gotta go over to Crooks and Liars and watch Phil Donahue tear the lying liar Bill O’Reilly a new one. It begins with O’Reilly spouting invective about Cindy Sheehan and ends with Donahue’s impassioned defense of the anti-war movement and an indictment of the constitutionality of the Iraq War. Go watch.
Donahue ends [...]
Via DailyKos, the map:
Sure looks the blue states pay a high price for this illegal and immoral war.
Also from Kos, the latest AP-Ipsos Iraq opinion polls:
