  Published in UK medical journal The Lancet.

  "Making conservative assumptions, we think that about 100 000 excess deaths, or more have happened since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Violence accounted for most of the excess deaths and air strikes from coalition forces accounted for most violent deaths."

  Briefings by Mike Lewis of IAG on the UK Government's response to the Lancet Iraq Mortality Survey. The responses are found lacking in a number of respects; in particular, they seem to suggest that the Government does not consider "interpolation" from a sample a valid technique. If meant in earnest, it implies a rejection of all statistical analysis.

  On 17 November 2004, the UK Foreign Secretary produced a written ministerial statement responding to the article 'Mortality before and after the 2003 invasion of Iraq: cluster sample survey', published in The Lancet on 29 October 2004. The ministerial statement dismissed mortality estimates produced by the Lancet survey. This briefing argues that this dismissal is largely unjustified, and in parts disingenuous.
