2. NPR/NBC/whoever "44 COMBAT deaths since 'Mission Accomplished'"
Pretty soon the "news" organizatioins are going to lose ways to keep the numbers low.

Alos (I am sure I will post this elsewhere) Fox news this morning was still absolutely bouyant about the deaths of the "Butcher's Boys" (clever huh?)......................................................oh and 3 Army soldiers died today....................................

They just snuck that in near the end of the report.
