The AP questions this curious trend. There was just no possible way the AP could let this magnificent news pass without dumping on it. That's your American media!
Do you see how dishonest the media is being on this casualty count?
They DO NOT want to print the headlines "lowest casualty count since the war began", which it is, because only 19 US forces have been killed/died in Iraq.
I know, I have tracked this literally every day, since the war began, and have my own Excel spreadsheet on it.
No, the media is reporting "21" KIA's in Iraq, so they can report "one of the lowest months", but NOT the "lowest" ever.
Because, if you to to iCasulaties, and look up the month of May 2008, you'll see that only 19 US service members have been killed, which would qualify it as the LOWEST since the war began.
The media knows this, they're misreporting the number on purpose, which they've never done before, they are including 2 KIA's from the Republic of Georgia, that were killed in Diyala Province at the beginning of the month of May; that's how they are deriving their "21" number of killed in Iraq this month; it's NOT "21" US Fatalities, it's "21" coalition fatalaties.
I know they know this, they have not in the past misprepresented the combined number, but they have now, for the first time ever, so that there is no "credit" for the lowest casualty figure ever!

Check it out yourself!
It's not dishonesty, it's treason. These guys *want* there to be more American casualties. They are the scum of the earth, with apologies to scum.
