Could you provide a link to this study, please?

The original Lancet study can be read
here.
Further work has been done by:
Iraq Body Count
Just Foreign Policy
The original figures were for about 655,000 as of June or July last year if memory serves. The JustForeignPolicy figures use an odd kind of extrapolation technique to get their figures of just over a million deaths, personally I don't like their technique and wouldn't put great stock in it. I think the number is probably closer to 750,000 than a million. But what's a quarter million Iraqis?
