The Worst Is Getting Worse
Jake Tapper, via Digby:
As the numbers of dead and injured in Haiti continue to climb, Lt. General P.K. Keen, the man charge of military relief efforts there says, “we are going to have to be prepared for the worst”. When I asked General Keen about death toll estimates ranging between 150,000 and 200,000 people, Keen said, “I think the international community is looking at those figures, and I think that’s a start point.”
One Response to “The Worst Is Getting Worse”
Watching CNN, I'm not very impressed with this Keen fellow. He seems to rush into “oh that’s taken care of, your boys are on the job” stuff when asked a specific question. All the camera angles seem too controlled also. I want somebody to stand on top of a truck and pan 360 degrees at the airport. I want to actually see what’s going on, not “be told”, what’s going on.
