Please don’t tax your brain!

Some news stories defy logic and common sense. Here are two in the last few days.

The killing of ‘number two’ terrorist, Abu Izzam, in Iraq. How many number two terrorists are there? I guess the only problem is in capturing the ‘number ones’ like Osama Bin Laden and Zarqawi. We are doing fine with number two's (no pun intended!)

FEMA closes down a shelter in Houston because there were too many desperate people to service. Yeah. ‘Sorry, go somewhere else. We will go home early today.’

Good point!

On the same lines, have you noticed that the number of insurgents/terrorists that the Bush administration has claimed to have killed or captured exceeds the total number that they said were involved in the resistance?

I have read and listened to reports from administration officials that there were not more than 2-3,000 of these fighters. More than that number have been reported as killed or captured. It could be that the original number was understated or perhaps, the administration counts any dead Iraqi as being a terrorist/insurgent irrespective of his true identity.
