A new study by public health researchers at Johns Hopkins University estimates that 655,000 Iraqi civilians have died as a result of the U.S.-led invasion and occupation -- the highest casualty rate reported so far.
In a press conference on the White House lawn, President Bush disputed the estimate, saying his administration and Iraqi officials believe the figure is too high and "not credible."
