Deadliest Week '08 in Iraq


Last week was the deadliest week in Iraq so far this year.  There were at least 19 soldiers killed last week.  Here is a link to the complete article on the killings.  After so many years in this war it seems that our news sources have changed from reports on the war to reports on Brittany and political scandals.  Do you think it is right that we are not getting as much information about the war?  Or do you feel that it is still just as important for us to be informed on these issues?  Is it even our role to demand what we would want to see in our news?  Let me know your thoughts on this.

I can tell you how it feels to read the news ticker about guys getting killed and finding out it was your son involved. Well maybe I can't tell you how it feels but it rips the skin right off of your body when the phone rings at 3AM and you hear Mrs. Smith?"
"Yes."
