The Iraqi guerrilla's and imported radical Muslems are spellbound by "Survivor" re-runs.

It's Eid, the festival that marks the end of Ramadan. Everyone will be off feasting with thier families.

Just a personal observation. Normally, as I check the news during the day, I see 1 report a day of soldiers getting killed in Iraq.

Trust me, if it's not being reported it ain't happening.

You cannot sit there and tell me the media suddenly decided to stop reporting body counts.Whats next? No more Murders and Fires on the 11 o'clock news?

I've noticed the opposite.. especially those shot down choppers have made a spike in the death toll.

I've noticed the same thing.  I imgine as Pei said, it might have to do with Eid.  But I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "relative".  Compared to getting choppers shot down, it is "quiet".

I read in the papers that the attacks on troops had about halved since the coalition troops started more proactive action against the enemy.

Evidently Rumsfield has "made up" with Saddam and even interviewed him for a consultant job with Haliburton. (2.5mb)
