2. There is a media black out on all casualties. They couldn't actually
show the coffins of the tsunami victims could they?

3. at one time, colin announced that over 5,000 AMERICANS were missing


I keep thinking that a LOT of the missing are the neil bush* types....went there for 'young child-prostitutes' and their families just really are embarrassed (or maybe even SHOCKED) that they went there ALL ALONE to sexually exploit children....it's not something you want discussed around the office or your neighborhood....so maybe people are just quietly accepting the loss....the wives may well be THRILLED that their philandering spouse 'disappeared', leaving them with the house, the bank accounts, the stocks, and NO NEED FOR A MESSY 'sharon bush*' type divorce....best of all worlds, the wife end up with EVERYTHING....quietly goes down to file, and lights a little 'thank gawwwddd' candle at her local church.....
