I too have been amazed at the media coverage. Since I'm in the SF Bay Area, I sort of expect to hear about it a lot. But I noticed it's also on the network news, the grocery store tabloids etc... I wonder if it was a woman of color would it have gotten the exposure?
I have a friend who said after seeing headlines of the Peterson case day after day... don't people want to know about the war? Why is this front page news? Her son is in Iraq.
I personally don't believe in the death penalty.
Some sobering stats:
American Military Deaths in Iraq: 1291
American Military Wounded: 9765
Iraqi Civilian Deaths: 14770
Does anyone know the UK stats? What about non-Iraqi civilians?
