I've seen reports from the MSM that indicate the dead number "only" around 50,000 when the real figures may be 10 times that. Worse, the dead are being buried in mass graves without being ID'ed and the death tolls are bigger the deeper inland you go (building materials and design are even more primitive than in the cities). A lot of folks are going out of their minds here. Most of MY students are a couple of generations removed from the island, but family ties run deep.

A capacity for self-organization seems to be lacking on that island.

Not to be hard-hearted, but I don't see a problem with mass graves. ID would be a good idea for the families, but could anyone realistically expect that in Haiti?
