BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A defense lawyer in Saddam Hussein's mass murder trial has been found dead, his body dumped near a Baghdad mosque with two gunshots to the head, police and a top lawyers union official said Friday.
In other violence, four U.S. service members were killed in two attacks Thursday, the U.S. military said. Three Marines died when a bomb hit their patrol in the village of Nasser wa Salam, 25 miles west of Baghdad, and other American troops clashed with gunmen, killing two insurgents and capturing four, the military said.
An American soldier was killed in the northwestern town of Hit by ''indirect fire,'' a term that usually means a mortar or rocket attack, the military said.
Nineteen Americans have been killed in the past week. The latest deaths brought to 1,992 the number of members of the U.S. military who have died since the beginning of the war in 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
The lawyer, Saadoun Sughaiyer al-Janabi, was abducted from his office Thursday evening, a day after he attended the first session of the trial, acting as the lawyer of one Saddam's seven co-defendants.

This is one of the reasons that I don't like reading American news. Although I'm sensitive to all the deaths of Americans in the world because of this stupid fight against terrorism that people have forced upon society, it really angers me when I read the news and it's geared towards "oh look, more Americans died". Shouldn't that news be in a separate article?
The whole subject is about the Defense lawyer and there are only 2 sentences devoted to his actual death. Just goes to show you how journalism works. We aren't supposed to give a shit about the guy b/c he was defending Hussein. Instead, let's bring back the focus to the suffering Americans in this article about someone we hate. This is one of the reasons why people can't stand us. We look self-centered when we do stuff like this.
Ok. Just needed to vent. If we're going to focus on an issue, just do it. I don't like this "subversive" inclusion of information. Of course, everyone does it. Nobody speaks the whole truth. Ever. Remember that.
