Let me rephrase this for you: "I just find it ironic how people who are so offended by the Bush Administration's manipulation of the death of Americans by using images from 9/11 in TV ads are also offended by the Bush Administration's manipulation of the death of Americans by changing policies and banning images of the death of USA soldiers in Iraq."
Not very ironic now, is it?

Why don't you enlighten me and rattle off a list of things that we have accomplished over there.

Maybe those aren't the stories you were looking for, but they were among the top hits on "good news iraq" on google.
Like I said, if Fox, a conservative news source, can't find any "good news" in Iraq, how do expect the "liberal" media to find it?

In summary, I think the news media is just reporting on the current stories. Iraq doesn't have much good news right now, and Bush Administration suppression of images of dead soldiers is a story in itself.
