Scott Rose from The Bosh reports:
For All The Good It Will Do ThemSigh...
If you were an American soldier murdered this past year in Iraq thanks to W.'s lunatic policies, you will be able to hear your name mentioned as your photo flashes on a TV screen over Memorial Day in an extended broadcast of "Nightline." 900 names and counting will be read. Ted Koppel says:"We owe it to these men and women who have died in the cause of freedom that we remember them with honor."
Not that W's supporters would be in favor of that. A similar program was broadcast in April 2004, drawing criticism from some conservatives jerks that it was a politically motivated effort to create opposition to the American presence in Iraq. The Sinclair Broadcast Group, with ties to W., barred its ABC affiliates from carrying the broadcast. Is that outrageous, or what? You send people's children off to get killed for insufficient cause, and then you won't even allow a tribute to them on the airwaves. W. and his cronies of course don't want you thinking about the realities of war; the trouble is, by not protesting W vigorously enough, we become complicit in his madness.
