Fred Kaplan debunks the Lancet study

Glenn links to Fred Kaplan's debunking of the Lancet study (from back in October) at Slate. The Lancet study was the one that claimed that 100,000 civilians have been killed in Iraq. Never credible in the first place, this number continues to be cited by ideologues and the uninformed.

Update: Also see Charles' post on this from when this fraudulent study came out.

Update: Glenn has more links (and astute commentary) on the study.
