31 Dead in Chopper Crash

From CNN:

Thirty-one Marines were killed in a helicopter crash near Iraq's border with Jordan, bringing the number of U.S. troops killed Wednesday to 36 -- the deadliest day for U.S. forces since the start of the war in Iraq.

Reading the rest of the article, it appears as though this has been an unusually bloody day even without the helicopter crash, even for Iraq.

To honor those killed, the Senate is expected to confirm Condiliar Rice as Secretary of State, whose lies contributed directly to the deaths.
