Associated Press is reporting a roadside bombing which killed 4 U.S. soldiers in Baghdad has now brought us to the grim milestone of 4,000 fatalities.

Greetings,
I hope not. Let's support an orderly, phased withdrawel rather than face another milestone.
Now that the Iraq war is back in the headlines, which however, most people prefer to avoid. The Bush Administration has successfully insulated us from the barbarism of an unnecessary conflict with Iraq. We are failing to honor the fallen by forbidding the publication of flag-draped coffins returning from the fluidic front. The media goes along with the ill-conceived censorship policies and has failed to exercise its responsibility to adhere to our Constitutional First-Amendment Rights. It is seen as bad for business to report on the war in a skeptical or critical manner. Those of us who dare to express a questioning opinion are seen as traitors in time of war and should be in prison, or worse, according to certain talking heads.
However, as the war resolution of October 2002 will go down in history as a blotch on Congress, I offer information of an upcoming film now shown at landmark theaters before possible release to local theaters: http://bodyofwar.com/ .
Please avail yourself of the information and perhaps access C-SPAN to stay informed.
