At what point, I wonder, does something like this garner appropriate outrage? Picked up, abducted, then disappeared?

At what point do we begin mentioning words like criminal, 'atrocity,' and such?

When 2000 disappear? Five thousand? 10? 20? 40? a million? or more?

Conversely, Is the loss of any ONE, if incarcerated and spirited away under dubious if not devious means, of lesser importance, especially to their wives, children, family members,

than the loss of another? Do they not also mourn?
