3. I keep on hearing
on Sunday morning talk shows that 793 US Soldiers have been killed. These two would make their count 795.

I use Lunaville.org as the official tracking site, but I always wonder what the discrepancy is between Lunaville and the media's count. Difference of 6.

It's a "hotspot", hence most of the place is "cool".
