I see your point regarding the low number of samples in the first report. Anyway I am asking for a discussion regarding the numbers because statisitcs of this group were used for a political agenda before.

Still if you look at the report you will see that this time for a statistical analysis the sample number is even quite big.

Polls and statistical analysis are quite advanced ( polls for elections) etc have a quite well defined saftey margin.

Before debunking this attempt to establish the number of deaths I would like to see any other serious work to get the right number. As before Iraq body count does a valiant attempt even if they look only on the reportet violent deaths. Here they get all the additional deaths resulting of a higher mortality death rate due to the war whatever the causes.
