Brad in a post below you said "remember i posted the link where an administration official put the number of al queda worldwide at something like 400?

and the number of disappeared people is officially at something like 2 or 3 thousand. (thats their figure, so...)"

My question is if Ziegfried and Roy make an elephant disappear 5 nights a week for 2 years does that mean there are over 500 missing elephants? Or could some of these missing elephants have been counted more than once?

Besides just how would you count a disappeared elephant or disappeared person for that matter? Once they are gone it makes them kinda difficult to count!!

'disappeared people is officially at something like 2 or 3 thousand. (thats their figure'

the administration has stated that about 3000 people are being held incommunicado, with their names not being released, not able to obtain legal counsel, etc.

of course, since we have only their word for that number, it could of course be higher (or even lower).
