Media manipulation at Yahoo?

The Crimson Repat | 09.05.2003 12:00

Yahoo briefly carried an agency report saying two US soldiers were killed in Iraq yesterday, one shot at close range with a pistol, the other killed by a sniper. Other attacks were also mentioned. When I checked back on the story five minutes later, Yahoo had removed it. Might be worth tracking this story.

The summary carries the basic info - but I have the distinct feeling that the military and the corporate media might be trying to downplay or hide attacks on US/British troops, because evidence of continuing Iraqi resistance is a little awkward for all "liberation/everything returning to normal" scenarios.
