Powell on US disaster relief: "We're providing body bags."
On NPR.

10. Powell was rattling off the various ways the US was helping tsunami
victims. I figure if he's gotta mention body bags, there sure must not be much to talk about.

3. maybe they're the ones left over
from 9/11/01 NYC, since they didn't need very many of them after the, ahem, "collapse".

(How convenient for the BFEE that all the victims and evidence at the crime scene were vaporized.)
