New Orleans toll

What's with the casualty lists on this disaster?
The official count is about 150 according to our papers with a senator ? saying up to 10,000 - a slight difference you may think.....
Then today our papers reported that 25,000 body bags had been delivered ...
Is the US Govt trying to hide the full extent of the problem, if so it's not doing it very well?
Now it turns out that the guy responsible for drawing up and implementing the damage limitation may have spiced up his CV before he got the job.... oops.....
The whole thing stinks for what is undoubtably the most powerful country on Earth- it should not have been allowed to happen [ the loss of life that is- hurricanes are probably beyond even the USA]
