The media enemy plays diry pool. With the old system, they hooped and hollered over the ever expanding list of US dead. Under the new system, they will lament the deaths of Iraqi terrorists with the same amount of enthusiasm as they mourned American deaths. Meanwhile, they will continue to drum for the pull-out of American forces to end the bloodshed. They will attempt to shame America for killing more of the terrorists than they have us.
Nothing is gained by releasing body counts. The media runs both sets of numbers with the worst possible spin because they don't want us to win.
