#2 What really sucks is that sites like icasualties.org will lump these 50 in with this month's civilian casualties and make this month's numbers look worse than they are.

I have a feeling that such graves will be unearthed for years to come.

#3 So what's your point. The U.S. was still a country in 1972, even earlier actually. I hear roumors of mass graves soon to be found in the City of Mexico. Folks in the know say ~~Cortez~~ Bush
