24 U.S. troops die in single day in Iraq
Thanks to Dubya, be prepared to see a LOT more of these kind of photos....
Somebody PLEASE stop this madness:
"Four U.S. soldiers and a Marine were killed during combat in Anbar province, the Sunni insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad, the military reported Sunday. The five newly reported deaths on Saturday raised that day's toll among American forces to at least 24, the third deadliest single day for U.S. troops since the war began in March 2003 [emphasis added].
The military gave no details on the Anbar fighting and said the identities of the dead were being withheld until family could be notified.
Before the latest deaths were announced, Saturday's carnage had included 12 soldiers killed in a Blackhawk helicopter crash northeast of Baghdad, five killed in a militant attack in Karbala and two others slain in roadside bombings."

Video footage (taken by cell phone yet again) of Saddam Hussein, post-execution en route to his family burial ground, lying in an ambulance in al-Kazimiyah, cursed by onlookers - WTF? (windows video via the SITE Institute; there's probably a YouTube link up too no doubt)
The second Iraq hangings also went awry.
