I had a friend killed over there and it was a pretty big event in the local area. Others killed from our area have gotten a lot of coverage in the local media; although, the media has not stooped to the level of using the deaths in an overtly political way (ie. as a tool to spur on the pro/con debate). So far they have left that to partisan hacks like Donald.

The deaths are obviously a tragidy for the families, their communities, and the nation as a whole. Using them as an emotional tool to attack the Bush foreign policy is about as shameless as it gets. But anymore, it seems that anything goes in politics.
