Wow! THE "NUMBER" IS UP TO 2757 THIS MORNING!

I haven't checked for a few days and I think the last time I checked it was 2739.

I know that we have lost two here in Missouri.

But I have noticed that the media is really covering Iraq lately - all the stations. And even the KC Star is carrying coverage in big articles on the front page. I guess the war is finally getting important enough to make the front page.

1. they are-but 5 seconds to tell us another US troop dead (if that). abc did

a long segment about a week ago on the increase of violence (evening news)---yet did not mention increase in US dead troops.

I think it was abc (on of the evening news networks).

2. I really think all newspapers should have space on the front page

everyday to update their readers on Iraq and Afghanistan. Both places are going right down the tubes. And they should have space for every soldier that dies over there - a picture and something about them.

This totally ignoring this war is just totally irresponsible.
