HITCHENS CLIFFS NOTES. At his other site, Rob offers a conveniently succinct summary version of Christopher Hitchens's Slate piece on the "moral idiocy" of the Lancet study on Iraq. I don't pretend to have any inside knowledge, but it seems notable that Hitchens is the one discussing this new Lancet study for Slate and not the eminently more credible Fred Kaplan, who wrote skeptically of the 2004 Lancet study but perhaps has changed his mind since.
