17. Thoughts on numbers of corpses and on body counts
700 versus 150.

Does Amnesty International actually go in and do a graves registry? Or do they take the word of "local authorities?"

Like the old LBJ-McNamara-Westmoreland "body counts" out of VietNam.

And, why a "tertiary source" like when you have a link to the "primary source", i.e., right here in a "secondary source" on . Not attacking, just questioning.

BTW - I do not take casualty reports and "body counts" as revealed truth after the LBJ-McNamara-Westmoreland "body counts" out of VietNam, the inflated body counts out of Jenin, and our own difficulties in tabulating dead, injured, and missing in last fall's Florida hurricanes.
