I thought the following article was very interesting, especially since it appears in the highly prestigous Chronicle of Higher Education:

The stance of Bush and the Pentagon seems to be "if we don't know about it, we don't have to care." As the article itself notes, look at the widespread outpouring of sympathy and assistance for the victims of the Tsunami's versus the public's almost total indifference to the news of the deaths estimated by this study.
