Summary
IN MY letter (December 17), I quoted the Lancet's estimate of Iraqi civilian deaths as 98,000. By misprinting my figure as 48,000 you made nonsense of my last paragraph. Had that figure been accurate, it would have meant that for everyone murdered in London on July 7, we would have helped to kill only 500 children, not 1000.
Of course, Tony Blair is only partly to blame for the Iraqi civilian deaths. If we apportion only 10-per cent of the responsibility to him, and the Lancet's figures are correct, that is equivalent to him being fully to blame for only 10,000 fatalities. It's lucky for him that he wasn't careless with his taxi expenses, nor did he fast-track a nanny's passport.See the full content of this document
