The war in Iraq: civilian casualties, political responsibilities "With the admitted beneļ¬t of hindsight and from a purely public health perspective, it is clear that whatever planning did take place was grievously in error."
Mortality before and after the 2003 invasion of Iraq: cluster sample survey: "Making conservative assumptions, we think that about 100000 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. We have shown that collection of public-health information is possible even during periods of extreme violence. Our results need further verification and should lead to changes to reduce non-combatant deaths from air strikes.
