#1 This article is written by Vicky Nanjappa. I went to all of his most recent articles and during the past few days his reports indicated 36, then around 90, and now this one that says close to a thousand.

In his report that claimed 36 killed, he indicated that the US intelligence bombed the location because IS was setting up a major module at that location. In his report that revised the number to 90 he named some of the casualties, the means in which family members were notified, and names of their family members.

He seems very confident in his sources and does seem to follow up for confirmation. Other stories he has done in that region also seem non-sensational and matter of fact.

Therefore my assessment Fred of this article is the MOAB may have taken out a thousand death eaters at that base.

#3 Indian wet dreams. That said, no doubt a few Pak intel/military died in the airstrike.

#4 I imagine NTSB has some methodology for reassembling parts to get a body count.

How do you count stains?
