Why does Irishantiwar.org still have the Iraq Body Count on their home page? And why is it so hard to contact them by email?

I sent them this email but it was returned with "does not like recipient":

Isn't time you removed Iraq Body Count due to
obvious downplaying of reality?

But surely you know this isn't news since
around November 2004 when the Lancet Report came out
see interview with one of its authors:

but then came the smears, burying the Lancet
Report:

Apart altogether from the millions of avoidable
infant deaths:
In particular, over the last 2 years I have
reported the steadily increasing post-invasion
avoidable mortality and under-5 infant mortality in
Occupied Iraq and Afghanistan that now total 2.3
million and 1.8 million, respectively. Alternative
media (notably MWC News) have been ethical,
responsive and eager to report this shocking
intelligence to their liberal readerships. However
Mainstream Media, while endlessly apprised, resolutely
refuse to report this important information
