No, no, no. if 1 in 167 people is killed each year, that means each year
your odds of being killed are, at least numerically, 1 in 167. Those odds do
not change the following year. They don't all of a sudden become 1 in 83.5.

Robert,
So you are saying that every service man that takes a camera, or
notebook, or diary to war is doing so to further a
some-day-in-the-future political career?
That all of the pictures of Abu-Ghraib were taken for that purpose?
Or is it just John Kerry who had that particular motive?
