If you read further than the first few paragraphs the study is pretty much torn to shreds. Basically "However experts have urged caution over the findings." down, or 2/3 of the rest of the article. Read it and see that this study is full of questions.

As for circumcision there is lots of benifits as stated in the article. Reduction of HIV risk, and some cancers. I am not saying every parent has to do it, it is a personal choice. Unlike the anti-vax crowd, this decision affects you and your kid, so I will never tell anyone they need to do anything other than read the science and make a call.
