Yes, 2-3K is bad enough.  All the more reason that Brad should not have 
started babbling about a death count 10 times that on the basis of no 
evidence at all.  His very first comment was to compare the likely WTC toll 
to that of total US deaths in the Korean War.  I don't think encouraging 
hysteria is ever helpful.
