Couric described soldiers' war-zone deaths as "ironic
Media matters:
"Now, ironically, Gray and Mora were killed along with five other soldiers not in combat, but when their cargo truck overturned during a routine trip in western Baghdad."

2. Finally! Someone call Alanis Morriset and tell her she's off the hook...

3. I wouldn't make too much of this choice of words, but yeah, she obviously doesn't get it.
Iraq itself is a war zone. Period. To be there is to be in combat, and there are no routine trips in western Baghdad. :eyes:

5. And to think, she used to be really
perky. Not particularly smart, educated or informed; but really perky.
