Why are US casualties in Iraq never shown?

They never show any bodies of US soldiers, only Iraqi ones...

Like this morning:

US military says:

Quote:
``It is our policy that we do not go into specific details on injuries sustained by soldiers,'' said Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, the U.S. military deputy director for operations. ``We're not going to get ghoulish about this.''
Report from the scene:

Quote:
Bahaa Jassim, a teenager, said the soldiers' vehicle crashed into a wall after the shooting. Several dozen passers-by then descended on the wreckage, looting the car of weapons and the soldiers' backpacks.

After the soldiers' bodies fell into the street, the crowd pummeled them with concrete blocks, Jassim said.

A U.S. patrol then arrived and cordoned off the area, he said.

Is it that the US administration doesn't think that the population would still support the occupation, if showed images like the ones that came from Somalia?

They also don't report on wounded.
