12. that's probably on both sides -- I've seen reports that say...

100 Iraquis and a dozen U.S. Soldiers. Still too many, on either side.

10. Murdoch-owned global satellite news network
more credible than FOX, and wouldn't report something this negative unless there were no way around it.

7. CNN
I was watching CNN a short while ago and could not believe what they had scrolling along the bottom of the screen.

"Fewer than 12 US troops killed in Iraq".

They'll obviously have to update it to.....

"Fewer than 150 US troops killed in Iraq."

11. Sad!
I don't think we will ever get the real truth about how many actual troops have been killed. Maybe years later after the war we will know.

13. Maybe they're reporting 130 dead
