it was posted early morning but no confirmation.

2. It has made the rounds a couple of times and been locked

The latest BBC article said that their embedded reporter has reported some serious casualties in the unit he is with, though.

Would the U.S media report this during a major combat operation?

I don't know

6. Why Not?

It's not like The Idiot Son has to worry about being re-elected.

8. Why would the EVER report it

if they can avoid it? Not like these guys in the Pentagon (or anywhere else in Washington) are such open and transparent public servants these days.

Also not like we have any embedded reporters with the Marines in Fallujah, either. Or reporters who've ventured outside Baghdad, for that matter.

3. Probably just the rebels trying to demoralize the US/Iraqi Gov't army.

eom

5. Why would the media report disinformation?

7. Xinhua was reporting "the rebels say they've captured troops."

They probably did say that. That doesn't mean it's true.
