Lancet reports 100,000 Iraqis killed

Alan Simpson, a member of Labour Against the War (UK), said:
"Iraq has not seen this scale of slaughter since its war
with Iran. At some point, the slaughter of civilians in
the name of peace has to become a crime of war. This is
not a matter of indifference but criminality. These
figures are horrific, but it is a scandal that the world
remains silent."
