Aren't these current events?

First time I've ever even considered commenting so please be kind. This is more of a question than a comment.

Under "The War in Afghanistan" and also under this one, "Operation Enduring Freedom", why isn't there one of those nifty lity boxes that denotes these as "current events". Both articles talk about these two happenings as if they're over but as recently as May 18,2006 (two days before my writing this) American troops are still on the ground there and are being as reported as killed in these...actions. Wouldn't that make them current tense instead of past tense the articles imply?
