[BREAK] The American Way: More people will know who won Emmys last night than how many kids died in their name during the same 24 hours. The Big News is that TV talking heads have begun stories on the Jon Benet perve with "I guess we still refer to him as a suspect", while the rest of us wonder what the creepy guy would confess to if we offered him a shot on the Today Show on Meredith Vierra's debut on that show PLUS 2 free "Business Class" tickets anywhere in the world. With that incentive, he might just cop to carrying all of the suspected WMD out of Iraq on a horse, in two saddlebags. (Or at least to having "been there" when it happened!) In lessor, much lesser news (according to the play it gets), 5 more young Americans died . . . for what . . . I can't recall? =====

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Five US soldiers killed in Iraq Five US soldiers have been killed in two separate bomb attacks in Iraq, the US military has said. Four soldiers died when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle north of Baghdad, a military statement said. A fifth soldier was killed when a roadside bomb struck his vehicle in the west of the capital. Both attacks occurred on Sunday afternoon. More than 2,600 US soldiers have died in Iraq since the US-led invasion was launched in March 2003.
