I was watching some press conf. yesterday with some FEMA guy and he was asked about the death toll.

He basically said their method is this, they find a body, try to identify the person, and THEN put the name on a list which then increases the death toll.

So I took that to mean if they've got 100 dead bodies and they've identified 3, the death toll only rises by 3 because they have the names of those 3.

I don't doubt that he said that, given FEMA's recent performance, but it really is incredible that there is officially no dead person unless you have their name. You have to store them, maybe bury them. But they don't exist in the death toll without a name? Some of these bodies will never be identified.

Not that I doubt you, it just seems weird.
