Ghoulish

Ghoulish - The top story from Iraq this morning, according to Katie Couric? A 20-year-old woman from the Wisconsin National Guard was killed in action. The woman has two sisters, also in the GUard.

The Today Show pitched the story as "A modern-day Saving Private Ryan"; the family is working through channels to try to ensure their other two daughters aren't sent to Iraq as well.

Couric finished the interview by asking "What do you think about the situation in Iraq? Do you agree with it?" That's what her voice said; her tone said "Please undercut the Administration before we cut to break...".

The father stuck it to her - re-telling his daughter's stories about seeing Iraqi women looking her in the eye, having lives worth living...

Naturally, no mention that the uprising is nearly beaten. No mention of the 90% of Iraq that is peaceful.
