And NO, I don't WANT there to be a lot of dead people, I am just...confused? by comments like "Initial sweeps show much fewer dead than previously expected." Isn't 50% of New Orleans still under water? I am also confused about how there are twice as many dead in Mississippi than in Louisiana. I thought there were reports of morgues with like 1200 dead in them. So where do they get the 344 number?

they're starting the PR for their fuzzy math regarding the number of dead.

4. Bingo...we have a winner. |

I've said it from the start. This administration is going to try to downplay the number of dead in NOLA.

it would be to protect the families of the victims. In this case it is probably to protect the royal * family.

You can count on them TRYING to supress the death toll.

5. it seems like we'll have a clue if they |
|
really low-ball and there are still long lists of missing people that aren't accounted for. I hope they don't try to cover-up deaths. People that have lost so much really need to know the truth.

8. Someone would probably cross check the missing list |
|
against the number dead, that would be pretty obvious then, wouldn't it? Especially if there is a large discrepency?

9. There are ways to estimate quite accurately the death toll |
|
using missing person's reports and records etc.
I have a feeling that the academics (scientists) who have been under attack by the bushies are going to let this slide.
Eventually we should have a solid number from sources WE can trust.
