Apparent Car-Bomb Blast Reported in Iraq
25 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - An apparent car bomb exploded Tuesday at a police station south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

Col. William Darley, a military spokesman, said the blast occurred in the town of Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of the Iraqi capital. He had no further details.

Arab television stations reported about 20 dead, but the reports could not be immediately confirmed.

6. Interesting how this was covered

On BBC America, this story was treated as huge breaking news with live commentary from a reporter in Baghdad. On CNN and NBC, it was given a brief "another bomb near Baghdad, more dead Iraqis" treatment with a map on screen for a few seconds. American news organizations are definitely downplaying violence in Iraq.

7. That is the reason I pay for digital cable...

The contrast between BBC America and the American tripe called news is extraordinary.

9. They're saying up to 50

may have died now. I was interested to hear the correspondent say that the Iraqi police were attacked frequently, and had more or less been exposed to this level of violence because, with the US and UK forces retreating to their fortified bases, they were the available soft target.

With the US media ignoring anything but US casualties, this seems to have been a shrewd political move by the neocons...
