I read the article. Like FReepers do.
I imagine that the OP was referring to the timing of the request/claim by FPS, not the putative 10,000 dead. Anyone who read the article would know that no-one is claiming 10,000 dead in the last day or so.
The only time I’ve had to waste on this thread has been asking for more signal and less noise.
The article turns out to be about a request by FPS for declassification of casualty figures. Unfortunately we all had to wade through multiple shriekposts before getting to that.
That 10,000 claimed as dead is even considered a reasonable estimate is beyond absurd. Reminds me of the Iraqi body count back in the day. This is the same type of thing.
