25. Are you saying the missing will be counted, too?

Edited on Sun Sep-11-05 03:23 PM by KCabotDullesMarxIII

And a plausible number of them will be justfiably included in the likely final body-count - or at least cited, so that people can draw their own conclusions, DoYouEverWonder?

Indeed we do very often wonder. Why, for instance, your concern at posters here questioning the changing estimate of the number of thousands of bodies concerned? Is it likely that any over-estimate of what is sure to be a horrendous body count, could possibly be of any significance - other than to the people having to physically tend to the them.

3000 bad, 10,000, terrible? Is that how you see it? What are they trying to tell the public? That the tragedy was somehow not as bad as expected? You sound pretty heartless.
