[Editor's note: Yes, this entire entry is an editor's note, and the link is to the Defense Department's news release page. American media seems to go through periods of not reporting on US casualties in Iraq. For whatever reason -- other, more pressing stories such as Hurricane Katrina, or bloodier, more sensational event in Iraq itself come to mind -- these deaths simply go unmentioned or barely mentioned. Rational Review, on the other hand, has had continuing coverage of casualties in Iraq as a plank in its editorial policy since the beginning of the war. So, instead of to the media, let's go to the source: The US Army has thus far reported losing two soldiers killed in action on August 29th and one on the 30th. This is something we believe our readers should know, and keep in mind - TLK]
