Mark,
Agreed, but that little fact didn't fit into my editorial snipe very well and I didn't want to thread-jack with that horror and throw this thread into a 'which disaster is worse' argument.

However, the can is open, so I'll put in my $0.02 and have it done. Both events are horrific tragedies. I don't think there's anything meaningful to be gained by comparing/contrasting the two events. Time will tell the long term effects of both.

That said, I still think Al Jazeera's lack of any mention of the storm & its victims makes a better statement of how their editorial staff feels about the value of human life than anything I can say.

Here's one of the more frustrating examples of this situation.
