CALLING CNN
How are they counting the casualties? Where the heck are they getting these ridiculous numbers!

3. How And Who?
I didn't know there was a "death central". I assume, in due time, it a majority of the deaths will be noted and documented...or at least those that involve some kind of property or financial claim.

The numbers I've been hearing...and I assume the corporate media is "tallying" are from verified local reports from city and or county coroners.

As time goes by the truth will come out...and so will the scope of how they died. The question won't be how many, but is this nation willing to face up to how they died and hold those who could have prevented some of these deaths accountable.

I'm getting a bit turned off with the morbid fascination to get either a high or low body count as some sort of vindication for their POV...be it right or left. The fact one person died of neglegence is enough for me.

No matter how the corporate media now tries to put lipstick on this pig, too many people saw what happened for themselves.

BTW...I heard one of Tommy DeLay's people was just hired by Time/Warner. Hmmm....
