I tried to wrap my head in that rag so I would resemble the terrorist I am but it always came out looking like a Captain hat. So I guess I'm a Terror Pirate!

US military occupation forces in Iraq suffered at least 60 combat casulties in the six days ending Nov. 20, as total casualties reached at least 61,989*.The total includes 31,690 killed or wounded by what the Pentagon classifies as "hostile" causes and 30,299 (as of Oct. 1) dead and injured from "non-hostile" causes.**
US media divert attention from the actual cost in American life and limb by routinely reporting only the total killed (3,875 as of Nov.20) and rarely mentioning the 28,530 wounded in combat. To further minimize public perception of the cost, they cover for the Pentagon by ignoring the 30,299 (as of Oct. 1)*** military victims of accidents and illness that caused death or were serious enough to require medical evacuation, although the 3,875 reported deaths include 715 (up three since Nov.14)who died from those same causes, including 130 suicides.
*This total includes 526 (up two since Nov. 10) Iraq combat casualties with homes of record in Oregon as of Nov.17. Another 57 Oregonians are combat casualties in the Afgan occupation. These figures include deaths but not injuries from "non-hostile" causes.Reported monthly by the Pentagon at http://siadapp.dmdc.osd.mil/personnel/C ... EF_OIF.pdf

not all itialians are mobsters - in fact the "mob" isnt even real. but if it was: it would come under the sectarian part of the italian religion. aka good italians (jay oh ohs with better food) and not the other italians - that dont exist. the pope was let in by the good ones - even though hes blonde - the rocket hat still fits.

From http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/28872Where is the firebrand journalism that the venerable Washington Post demonstrated back in the 70's in serving to take down the corrupt Nixon administration? How is it possible that a story this important goes unreported in the NY Times? It's a sad commentary on the mainstream media overall. They've given this corrupt, criminal administration a virtual pass since it stepped inside the White House in 2000. It's allowed the Busheviks to lie, cheat, deceive, steal and bully with impunity. All you need to do is watch a Bush press conference in the White House press room to see just how neutered the press is. Bush is nasty, condescending, unrevealing, taunting and cavalier as he side-steps the issues and offers inane muck instead. And the press allows it. You can see the fear in their eyes, hoping that Bush doesn't publicly ridicule them, as he has done so often when he hears a tough question he doesn't particularly like. The media ought to be ashamed of itself. And now the Times seems to have joined this pathetic group.
