Sounds like a bunch of laymen arguing about a particle physics experiment. Lack the data, the methodology, and the background knowledge.

I don't blindly accept the Johns Hopkins survey numbers as exact, nor do I accept the low-end estimates out there, nor do I think that Op-Ed writers can be believed. I basically split the difference and figure that most likely, somewhere between 100,000 and 400,000 Iraqis have died.
