Rummie went off on news reporters at the q & a just now in Qatar

Think it was Jim Misheleski (I don't know how to spell his name - sounds something like that) who prefaced his question by saying that historically the death to casualty ratio in war is usually significantly different than what is currently being reported - that is, there are usually much higher numbers of injured relative to those killed. He then asks whether the numbers they're giving out are being "controlled" (my paraphrasing). Rumsie went ballistic at the idea that they would lie about these things and at him for even raising the question.
