Why didn't the 12/31 media honor the 468 US Iraqi dead in 03 via a list
"The Army Times uses eight pages of its year-end review to run photos of all those who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan...The chilling photos run at a time when the government tries to describe the war as a civic venture, and nearly all of the news industry doesn't know how to object. This probably is the worst failure to inform the public that we have seen. The Pekingese of the Press run clip-clop along the hall to the next government press conference."
--Jimmy Breslin

From the Army Times web site above: Current Operation Iraqi Freedom casualty total as confirmed by U.S. Central Command: 462 (468 is my estimate on 12/31)
