Casualties in Iraq continue to rise in a daily slow bleed sparking
twisted flashbacks of Vietnam three decades ago.

Five American solders were killed around dawn when two rockets fired
from a truck hit the U.S. base at Taji, 12 miles north of Baghdad,
Air Force Lt. Col. Sam Hudspath said. U.S. helicopter gunships then
destroyed the truck, the military said.
Six soldiers were wounded in the attack, three of them critically,
the military said.
The deaths, along with the combat death of a Marine announced Saturday,
brought to 107 the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq since the beginning
of April. Since the U.S.-led invasion last year, 715 American military
personnel have died in Iraq.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon refuses to allow publication
of phographs of caskets containing bodies of dead American soldiers being
brought home via Dover Airforce Base. In an almost unbelievable development
the US government has actually gone so far as to block access to an internet
site  thememoryhole.org) which published 350 photos from Dover
obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
