What's Up WIth The Death Numbers In New Orleans?

Is it more incompetence? Perhaps not just from Mayor Nagin, but the press?

In the early days of his crisis, Mayor Nagin projected 10,000 dead.

Then someone in New Orleans ordered 25,000 body bags (where they got that number, who knows...it's 2.5 times larger than the mayor's figures.)

But as of today, the official death toll is only 150 dead.

What about Mayor Nagin? Is he a liar, or did he just have some "bad intel?

And if the press is wrong about those things, I wonder what else they could be wrong about?

Red...every estimate about Katrina is going to be scaled down... the death numbers, the cost, the # of rapes and murders... the number of African Americans eating human corpses (remember that beauty?) The real number of looters and unused school buses though, will be suppressed.
