What's With The Body Count Game? THOUSANDS Of Body Bags Ordered, And
HUNDREDS of bodies recovered. It would be great if the numbers were less than expected, but I'm starting to feel jerked around here. Remember Giulliani (sp?) ordering 60,000 body bags on 9-11? I suppose the control this so-called regime has over media coverage in New Orleans has something to do with it? All I want is the truth, and I sure hope it turns out better than I expect.

8. If the dogs eat everything but the bones...
that only counts as 1/5 of a body.

5. We can't bring them back so it really won't make any real
difference whether the body count is high or low - they're already DEAD! I would just like to feel we could get an honest count. It's just so sick that I will never really believe the number they finally come up with.

7. They'll do it
Iraq style-only the ones they can "ascertain" died immediately in hurricane or flood will be counted.
