Mysterious death of a US soldier in Iraq

"On Friday, January 20, Katherine Patricia Singleton was killed in Iraq. That's all the information there is. No rank, no location, no cause, just her name on the list at icasualties.org."

Well I don't know if I would characterize it as precognition. I think it's more like someone has identified a case which fits in with her story about the government trying to hide the cause of female soldiers deaths. Had she never said anything no one would have been on the lookout and this case would have flown under the radar and no one would have been the wiser. Now that people are looking for these cases and giving death reports more scrutiny cases are popping up.

Oh and did you hear, 5,000 people are talking to OBL, according to Bush were done in for as if they only listen to people taking to OBL, well he has at least 5,000 cells leaders that he talks too. If each cell has 20 people that's 100,000 terrorist waiting to strike. It's almost the number of troops we have in Iraq.

Luckily for the military I don't think that the family would have to be blackmailed to stay quiet. Most mil families are likely to believe whatever they are told, many have friends and family circles within the military and so don't want to buck the system. If they come to you and tell you that your son/daughter was killed in action. Do you ask questions? How about if you find out mouths later that it was friendlyfire? How about if they tell you that the death was because of an error on her/his part? How much would you question the command?
Most people would not want the media circus that would form around a scandal, and most people would try to cooperate to prevent a scandal hoping to fix it, whatever the problem might be, from within the system.

And if your on a green card, and are getting your citizenship through your sons/daughters service your not very likely to ask too many questions from the start.

If there is no one from out side the system looking for a problem it's very unlikely that one would be easily found.
