   Quite true, and I think it's safe to say that for most Americans, the 
figures will never be appreciated.

   I watched all 3 US network news shows last night and was surprised that 
they all reported the study.  But ABC and NBC spun the report as clearly 
false with Bush refuting its accuracy.  They really did a hatchet job on it.

   CBS also aired Bush's statement against the study but did -- shockingly -- 
note that if a similar death toll had been wrought on the US that would mean 
7.5 million dead Americans.

   But overall, the American propaganda system is still firing on all 
cylinders.

 In solidarity.
