3. You would think they would tell the families first.

[rodeodance]

4. cnn jut said the Pent said two bodies wer found. (not identified yet)

[rodeodance]

5. k.

[liberal N proud]

6. That is low! Let the families find out about their boys from CNN?

I didn't even think the bu$h regime could stoop that low.

[cali]

7. they didn't.

I hate defending the admin, but this is evidently how it went down: The Iraqi government announced the deaths, US media broadcast them. The military refused to comment because the families hadn't been notified.

[rodeodance]

9. yes, it came from the Iragi gov. not the Pent.-cnn talking of this now-

procedures not followed.

[rodeodance]

10. Soladad on cnn saying the bodies showed signs of torture. oh god.

[rodeodance]

11. how horrible for the families. even if anticipated,

[wicket]

12. Oh lord, what a mess
