Where the Hell Is the Media?

This is disturbing. First of all, 14 soldiers were killed this morning, and so far, I haven't heard much of a peep out of the national media.
Even more disturbing is the bottom of this story, wherein we learn that the 7 soldiers killed Monday may have been killed by the last throes of a dying insurgency. Infiltrated by the insurgency.

"In both cases, it's feared the Marines were betrayed by insurgents who had infiltrated the Iraqi military. A recent Pentagon report warns that some Iraqi military and police recruits may be insurgent or terrorist infiltrators.

“We need their skills and abilities, so we have to accept some level of risk in having them in the new security forces,” said Jeffrey White, a Pentagon official."


At a time like this, it's difficult not to call our leaders some names, but ultimately, it doesn't matter. They don't much care. The media should be covering this. Call me crazy, but this seems like news. Oh wait, Katie can't be bothered with bad news, she has to talk about Brad and Jen. I'm going to hurl.
