2. 45000 dead Iraqi military in US mass graves -today some are moved
how much airtime will this IRAQ MASS GRAVES story get?

Until the estimate of the work to move from mass grave to family grave was given out yesterday by low level DOD (I doubt it is "official" - the 10000 to 45000 number), we had no number of Iraq military dead beyond the 2800 number for "near Baghdad dead".

I check all US Media for the last 24 hours since it was given out - and guess what - not one story. Guess we can add this to the 7800 Iraq civilan deaths story that never got into US Media, and the Iraq civilan casualty but not dead number of 20000, and the Iraq Military casualty but not dead of 20,000, and the US/Brit wounded but not dead of 1289 as of last week, and the US/Brit/Dane dead of 287).

We will just talk about "combat deaths" - say 50 or so since May 1 - actually since we define "combat" - what number do you want? - it cab be as low as needed for US PR.
