Sounded like an intentional slip to me too.
Right it did sound like it could have been intentional or at least unconsciously said by Lehrer........that number is awfully hard to MISREAD -- especially for a guy like Lehrer who has been a news man for so long!
Everyone who is familiar with the Iraq news knows that we just passed 1000 dead ........... NOT 10,000!
Lehrer is an old media hack who is only a few degrees less harmful than jerks like Dan Blather.
