It may be hard to get exactly what I referred to because I saw it on CNN. It was around the time that the first embedded reporter gave green light pictures of a small landing by Special Forces near the start of the war. This is a related piece: http://slate.msn.com/?id=2058474 from the New Yorker. My memory of his statment about the number of casualties may be a bit high, but there was clearly a disagreement between his comments and the US government's comments on the number of casualties. I hope this helps. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
