Do these people just pull numbers out of the air? Throw a dart or spin a wheel maybe? The Lancet Study, which was debunked as way too high, claimed 600,000. This one claims a million.

Taking it at face value, HuffPo is already touting this as proof of some kind of American genocide that we’re simply denying. Yeah, because we all know that civilian casualties while fighting for a nation’s freedom from oppression is equal to this.

Anyway, about the study. You’ll be (not) surprised to learn that the so-called “research partner” for this new study is the Independent Institute for Administration and Civil Society Studies. Yeah, you know what other study the Independent Institute for Administration and Civil Society Studies was a “research partner” for? The Lancet Study. Did I mention that that was debunked?
