ANTI-WAR US SOLDIERS KILLED...
http://www.salon.com/news/primary_sources/2007/09/12/times_soldiers/index_np.html

Anti-War US soldiers suddenly die . . .
I wonder if the others will survive ?

Two of the active-duty U.S. soldiers who wrote a controversial Op-Ed in the New York Times questioning the direction of the Iraq war died Monday in Baghdad. Here are their words.

Editor's note: This Op-Ed by seven active-duty U.S. soldiers was published in the New York Times on Aug. 19. Two of its authors, Sgt. Omar Mora and Staff Sgt. Yance T. Gray, were killed Monday in a vehicle accident in Iraq. Staff Sgt. Jeremy Murphy, another of the seven authors, was shot in the head in Iraq on Aug. 12, before the Op-Ed was even published. He is recovering at the National Naval Medical in Maryland.

1. Watch out what you say, watch out what you do; the threat still exists.

3. Coincidence, I don't think so.
It seems to me that the people who are actually there, with their boots on the bloody streets of Iraq, not sitting by the swimming pool in Imperial City a.k.a. "The Green Zone" doing shooters with your buddies, there's a whole different perception of reality. Michael Ware on CNN gets real close to the mark, but they try to keep him off air as much as possible. Actually, I'm amazed every time he appears, surprised this evil gang of marauders (BushCheney&Co) haven't 'dealt' with him. Just sayin'.

4. Were War Critic Soldiers Killed To Send Message ?
The mother of a soldier who died in an apparent vehicle accident shortly after writing a New York Times op-ed critical of the war in Iraq is demanding to know the truth about what happened to her son, while another author of the piece was also shot in the head in a case that bears a sinister resemblance to the murder of Pat Tillman.

Even if we are to dismiss the truck wreck as nothing more than an accident, another factor that has received next to no press attention should send red flags up for everyone.

A third author of the letter was also shot in the head in a separate incident during the time when the op-ed was being written. Though Staff Sgt. Jeremy Murphy survived and is expected to make a full recovery, the fact that three of the seven authors of the op-ed were either killed or received life-threatening injuries shortly before and after the publication of the piece is highly suspicious.
