To: Protect the Bill of Rights

They are bound to be seeing the bodies; and I just do not know why, unless their editors have heard from the government asking them not to number the dead until they are more certain.

They also probably want to avoid a situation where they hype "thousands dead" and turn out to be wrong.

I think they're taking a go-slow approach on this, and will come out with the bad news once they get solid figures. I can't see any other reason for holding back.

To: Howlin; Miss Marple

Miss Marple, I think you may be on to something. They are trying to get people out. The last thing they need is an influx of grieving people looking for the remains of loved ones.

That being said, I have always taken umbrage to MSM not reporting something to the public for fear we cannot handle it.

Now, if they would apply the same standards to the war in Iraq, I would be happy. Inflame the enemy, protect the sheeple. Go figure.

We have heard much about NO. Orlando "Swing the camera over there, Ted" and others have done a great job in other places.

I may have missed this, but has there been anything released regarding the number of missing persons as reported by loved ones?
