1. I've seen the reports on TV
but they are also saying that it is has not been verified how they were killed. The pentagon briefing has said they were shot. The truth is bad enough and though we are not being given the truth in a very forth coming manner or if at all, let us have respect and not act like the media whores and sensationalize the cause of death until we know more. Just my hhumble opinion.

2. I am completely freaked by this information
A friend of mine's son is in the 101st airborne in Mosul. He is looking more worn down every time I see him. He is very much against this war, and has been working on Howard Dean's campaign, and also has become involved with Military Families Speak Out. He and his lovely wife speak to their son every chance they get, but as you have pointed out with this article, things are getting worse by the minute over there, and our young people are paying for the greed of this administration! This is getting up to Vietnam proportions, where good people join the military with ideals that get shattered by getting dragged into wars that they should not be in. Next thing you know, there will be a reinstitution of the draft, and all the rest of it...

3. Like I've always said
The people who want the war should go.

Those who don't want the war should be allowed to stay home.

Why isn't the whole bush* cabinet and bush* himself in Iraq, doing the job they oh-so-wanted?
