Katrina's Aftermath:

"The whereabouts of 6,644 people reported missing after Hurricane Katrina have not been determined, raising the prospect that the death toll could be higher than the 1,306 recorded so far in Louisiana and Mississippi, according to two groups working with the federal government to account for victims."<br><br>Rest of article at USA Today (<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://tinyurl.com/9olpm)">tinyurl.com/9olpm)</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Well, duh! Of course there are more dead people than they have previously admitted. Two months after the fact, I guess it's safe to let it out of the bag. Little by little. 5,000 here, 5,000 there....but the true number will never be known.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Remember the reports of tens of thousands of body bags being ordered, by FEMA I believe it was? Wonder if they ever got delivered.<br><br>(Of course, the official explanation was that some of those would go to Iraq, although even with the terrible death toll of nearly 2,100 soldiers there, "tens of thousands" seems like a bit much.) <p></p><i></i>

I remember that and other predictions of 10,000s of bodies too... seems pretty obvious that the true number is much higher than we're now being told... <p></p><i></i>

They can't ever let people know it's more than the toll of 9/11, because then they'll have to start a War on Weather. <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>On the other hand,</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> it's worth considering that in the aftermath of Katrina, quite a few people might have taken advantage of the situation by simply disappearing, "stepping out" of their old lives, debts, active warrants, wives... <p></p><i></i>
