#1 I wonder if any of the dead will ever get to be considered _persons_ the way Casey Sheehan is.

(Not, of course, that Casey Sheehan would have approved of everything being done in his name. But that's just another question the propaganda machine wants us to ignore.)

#4 NPR this AM said the recent relative calm in Baghdad had been broken by this attack. NPR of course had not mentioned the relative calm prior. Sometimes getting certain kinds of facts out of the MSM is like reading Soviet era Pravda.

#6 one final thought-for-the-morning: is anyone reminded of the John Birch society by all the recent brouhaha?

I was thinking about that, because a while back I read a memoir by someone who knew John Birch, and said he never believed in all that stuff the JBS did...

#7 Sometimes getting certain kinds of facts out of the MSM is like reading Soviet era Pravda.

#8 Phil,
But you do not understand...Iraqis are being killed because American troops are there. Before that, Iraqis died of old age.

Do I really need sarc tags here?
