"The slain bodies of a man and a woman were found about 20 miles south of Baghdad."

Oh. Slain bodies of a man and a woman. Considering the fact that the news story didn't mention the ethnicity of the man and woman, I am to assume that these were white people?.... Ah yes, we're told that they look like Westerners. Which I guess means they were wearing jeans and t-shirts?

Sorry, that's irreverant of me. It's not meant to be. I just found the assumption through the language to be very telling.

Well, I figured that 1 dead man and 1 dead woman, if they were Middle Eastern, doesn't make much a difference to people, unless they were killed by Israelis or Palestinians. I'm going to edit some stuff. Then play flute. Try to smile at the blue sky a little bit today.
