A minor detail

One of the authors of the bogus Johns Hopkins study on Iraqi civilian casualties, Les Roberts, is not just a partisan Democrat, but ran as a Democratic candidate for Congress earlier this year in New York state. According to Tim Blair, not a single news story on the study also mentions the fact that Roberts was a Democratic politician. Here's Roberts as he bowed out of the race in May:

"I think it’s critically important that we elect a Democrat and that Democrats take control of the House of Representatives."

"You’d think this might be worth noting" says Blair. Yes, you'd think.
