Katrina Death Toll??

Haven't heard any "official" count lately? I've been away, did I just miss this bit of news, or is it being suppressed?

3. Over 1000 now. Don't be surprised if that more than doubles. But like 9/11

The body count will be less than worst case projections. It'll still be plenty bad.

2. I heard something around 1,033 earlier on CNN.

Not sure if that's exactly right (I've got a memory like a sieve), but close to that.

:cry:

4. I'm sure the real toll will be suppressed.

It would certainly not put chimpster in a good light, and KKKarl can't have that, can he?

Someone posted on this yesterday. I'll see if I can find that thread again & post here.

*On edit: damn! I can't find the thread! But I'm sure the info will resurface sooner or later.

5. You can bet that THEY are not wanting the toll to reach the magic number

of 3,000. THEY have thrown that number around for years since the Twin Towers fell. THEY are petrified that this disaster might overtake THEIR disaster, after all, they hijacked that disaster for themselves, didn't THEY? I'll bet the true numbers will be suppressed.
