BS

All of my blogging energy for a week got used up in one day today. Craig Moore wanted to have it out with me over the “Lancet 2” report from 2006, the one that said that 655,000 Iraqis had died in that war. Gregg set up a special thread over at Electric City Weblog, and I spent some time reading material referenced by Craig, and writing my own summary of the pros and cons of Lancet and the implications of the theater around it.

So I wrote it up, and tried to be thorough and fair, though I could not resist using the expression “Vichy Iraq” for the new government the U.S. installed.

Craig’s response was classic: “BS”. That was it.

Last anyone heard of him, Craig Moore was farming cattle around Ryegate, Montana. He never again entered a blog site.
