Yes, the actual study cited.

"attempt to calculate how many more Iraqis have died since March 2003 than one would expect without the war. Their conclusion, based on interviews of households and not a body count, is that about 600,000 died from violence, mostly gunfire."
And this mentions "at the hands of US troops" where, exactly?

And an article coming from here criticises the integrity of the study and questions the political motivation of the inquiry.
Well, jar has already addressed the first half of this statement, so let me ask you something about the second half. What's wrong with releasing this sort of data prior to mid-term elections? Do you not think that the electorate should be informed? You would prefer to save this sort of bad news till after the elections? Wow, your integrity is outstanding to say the least. I've always hated this type of chicken shit cop-out. "Oh boo hoo, bad news was released by them stupid liberals prior to an election. How dare they try to fuck up our plans. Wah wah wah". Honestly, when do you think this sort of information should be released, if not in time to help voters decide?
