Rather said that the Bush* adm. has convinced the "journalists" not to
report total number of military deaths in Iraq (reporting dead in combat only). He said that this was not worthy of a great country like ours: every soldier died in service to his/her country and should be counted and honored.
This was in Larry King Live (CNN)

1. So is Rather getting over his fear of being "necklaced"
and ready to be a real journalist again?

2. Didn't the Senate just vote to ratify
Bush's ban on photos of the flag draped coffins? I can't stand that asshole.

3. I don't know who sickens me more...
Bush or the "journalists" who do the warmonger's bidding.

10. Only 3 dead US servicemen in Iraq
after the transfer of power. Ever notice they do all they can to keep the number of dead below the real number. They have no respect for those that died in service to our country. Bush and Cheney suck.

11. I seemed to notice a changew in the way casualties were reported a couple
of months ago. Suddenly it was like 3 killed in fallujah, 1 killed in Mosul and 2 killed in Baghdad. Just a little bit harder to get yuor head around the real # of losses.

13. today, they are ONLY reporting DEAD since New Iraqi Government
took over...so now the number of American Troops dead is three...

four if you consider the hostage that was KILLED, but the media pretty much blew that off as something else entirely, not being counted as the number of American Troops KILLED in the NEW Iraqi Government: 3

14. What good does telling us do? Why doesn't he make it right
and start reporting the way he should report them.
