TIKRIT, Iraq, Nov. 7 — A U.S. Army helicopter crashed Friday into a riverbank near Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit, killing six U.S. soldiers, the military said. In the northern city of Mosul, meanwhile, two Americans were killed and nine wounded in attacks, raising concerns that the insurgency was spreading north.

IT WAS not immediately clear if the chopper was brought down by hostile fire or a mechanical failure, the military said. But an officer who asked not to be identified said the Black Hawk might have been hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.
“Six soldiers were on board and all of them were killed,” said Maj. Jossyln Aberle, a spokeswoman for the 4th Infantry Division based in Tikrit. All were from the 101st Airborne Division, she said.
Separately, guerrillas attacked a convoy in Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad, with rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire Friday morning. The military said one U.S. soldier died and six others were wounded in the clash.

5. I don't watch the news
I look at the internet. BBC, the Guardian, DU's LBN, sometimes Google News, and a few foriegn sites which are a bit different than what we see here in Amerika. Why bother with the propaganda when I can find out the truth, with just a little work.
