>> The Pentagon has now prohibited news cameras from capturing images

>that doesn't change the fact the death toll continues to climb.

>> The number of U.S. troops who have died in Iraq since President
>George Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1 reached 138
>yesterday, after a soldier was killed when a homemade bomb exploded
>near Tikrit.
>>
>> The attack came just one day after the deadliest single strike
>against U.S. forces since the war began. Sixteen American soldiers
>were killed Sunday when their helicopter was attacked by a
>shoulder-fired missile.
>>
>> But despite the carnage, Bush is maintaining his resolve.
>>
>> Still, with the security situation in Iraq as unstable as ever, many
>observers believe the U.S. needs to send more troops to the country.
>>
>> Yesterday's vote in Congress to approve $87.5 billion for military
>operations and aid in Iraq and Afghanistan will help.
>>
>> But some people are wondering whether that will be enough. A U.S.
>Department of Defense website about who gets called up for military
>service has raised speculation about a new draft. We'll hear more
>about that website in a moment, but first...

>> Ned Lebow is a professor of government at Dartmouth College in New

>> Draft - Local Boards
>>
>> The site is currently recruiting men and women - to volunteer as
>members of local draft boards. Boards like these were used to draft
>men up until the end of the Vietnam War. The boards were later
>resurrected in 1980.
>> As the government website states in the event of a military draft,
>board members would decide which Americans would qualify for
>deferments, postponements or exemptions from military service.
>>
>> Dick Flahavan is with the Selective Service System - the Government
>Agency responsible for these boards. He was in Washington D.C.
