Two U.S. soldiers were mutilated and killed in Iraq, five U.S. soldiers died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan -- yet Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, which usually wants you to think it bleeds red, white and blue, mentions neither of these incidents anywhere on its front page today. Yeah, sure -- it's not all that surprising that the Post would want to give Michael Jackson the big splash headline. But not even a mention of the deaths anywhere on the front page? "$30 Dress Designers Thought Was $250" is more important?

Is this the Post's version of the White House policy of hiding the caskets?

(The Daily News, by contrast, gives the Iraq killings its cover, with words of outrage.)
