Any word on what model the aircraft was?
Could you all stop the squabbling? I have a good friend who is a Blackhawk pilot over there and every time we lose a bird my stomach drops to the floor. You guy aren't helping.

Don't know the type but it had a 2 person crew. Helicopters used by the Army that have a two-person crew include the AH-64 Apache and the OH-58 Kiowa reconnaissance.
This report said it was likely a Kiowa:

A friend, whose Marine son is in Fallujah, and I spoke last week and he began weeping. He was proud of his son's service, but worried. His son had sent him a parcel, no phone call for three days..and he usually calls every two, three days. The father was frustrated because of the lack of socks, underwear, everyday necessities, including G.P.S. systems. He said they had one for every seven Marines, so he bought one and sent it to his son. The bottom line is that America is one big family. Every single soldier over there is our son or daughter, and we keep them in our hearts and prayers.
