122 journalists have died in Iraq

For a war taking place in just one country, an unprecedented number of journalists have been slain.  This week, we can add one more journalist to the list:

An Iraqi editor was slain in Baghdad, the Committeeto Protect Journalists announced Monday, raising to at least 122 thenumber of journalists killed in Iraq since the war started in March2003.

Shehab Mohammad al-Hiti was a 27-year-old editor forthe fledgling weekly Baghdad al-Youm, which had been publishing foronly three weeks.

Of course, talking heads like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity would like us to believe that these journalists risk their lives just to promote the Democrats' anti-war talking points.
