Are we getting the latest and complete news from iraq?

I heard on NPR a foreign journalists in Fallujah reporting that he saw the bodies of six American soldiers blow in the air body parts everywhere. Also report many "insurgents" and civilian killed but not buried yet and the stentch of decaying flesh was everywhere. I was in my car when I heard this and since I stopped watching ore listening to network news I was wondering if anybody elese heard these same reports. Notice only the foreign journalists seem to be reporting what is taking place on the ground.

1. Doubtful.

I heard the same thing on NPR, but not on my limited contact with "mainstream" media. Gave up the "mainstream" media for a while.

It doesn't surprise me. I was going to try to catch some BBC news.

5. Some blogs seem to be saying things that are not service stuff.

When you find it send it to CNN etc, Make it look as if they are not putting on the news, which they are not. They have cleaned it up for home view. As Barbara said who wants to mess up a beautiful mind with that stuff.

2. U.S. causilties reports set the number of U.S killed at 1,146 which....

...suggests that American fatalities are being under reported if these other stories have any validity. As for civilian and insurgents killed, that number I expect will be high. I don't think we'll get the full story as to U.S. or enemy killed for weeks or even months, if ever.
