Unworthy victims: Western wars have killed four million Muslims since 1990
Nafeez AhmedWednesday 8 April 2015 15:12 UTC 10.7K 26.8Kgoogleplus200 57.1K

Last month, the Washington DC-based Physicians for Social Responsibility (PRS) released a landmark study concluding that the death toll from 10 years of the “War on Terror” since the 9/11 attacks is at least 1.3 million, and could be as high as 2 million.

The 97-page report by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning doctors’ group is the first to tally up the total number of civilian casualties from US-led counter-terrorism interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The PSR report is authored by an interdisciplinary team of leading public health experts, including Dr. Robert Gould, director of health professional outreach and education at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center, and Professor Tim Takaro of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University.

Yet it has been almost completely blacked out by the English-language media, despite being the first effort by a world-leading public health organisation to produce a scientifically robust calculation of the number of people killed by the US-UK-led “war on terror”.

4700 US military, and most likely just under 500,000 middle eastern civilians just wanting to live in peace, could be in the millions.

BTW, PhD dissertations are available online to anyone who wants them (that's the point of PhD's - to contribute distinct and original academic knowledge, something I'm not surprised you wouldn't know).

http://www.proquest.com/products-ser...dissertations/

Here's Columbia's comment on Crowley's apparent plagiarism on her PhD dissertation at Columbia:

“We have no comment on Monica Crowley’s dissertation, which was submitted in 2000 and is publicly available. The University’s process for addressing concerns raised about University research preserves the confidentiality of any review, and even the fact of a review’s existence is confidential while it is underway. Columbia is committed to upholding the very highest standards of integrity and credibility in academic research.”

It will be very interesting to hear what she has to say about this.
LOL. I thought that would make your head explode.

Monica Crowley, recently appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to a key national security communications job, said Monday that she would relinquish the post amid multiple allegations of plagiarism.

Remember Mike Barnicle went through this and interestingly enough Don Imus defended him to the end.

And of course Barnicle turned on him instantly over the racism charges.

But, what else would you expect from a lefty.

Odd how "lefties" as you put it are so intolerant of racism. It's almost as if they feel all men are actually created equal. How silly.......

It is fortunate that blacks are black. Otherwise at least once in a while they would have to use some other reason for their problems.

Racists would just come up with some other reason to divide. (Sigh...)



What's your excuse?
