“THE PROFESSOR WHO CAN’T COUNT STRAIGHT:” Here’s an article on Marc Herold, purveyor of bogus numbers on Afghan civilian casualties — and on the journalists who eagerly cite his work despite its rather obvious falsity.

The article’s unpacking of Herold’s numbers and their nonexistent sources — which are Bellesiles-like in their bogosity — is amusing. That so many people eagerly embrace them out of desire to have something bad to say about America is, well, pitiful.
