Forgotten in Memorial
Today in Mother Jones: Forgotten in Memorial by Chris Appy
President Bush's Memorial Day address was suitably reverent, paying tribute to those Americans who have died fighting for their country. But, as Chris Appy writes, the president's rhetoric seems out of step with his administration's actual practice. Appy, who has been compiling an oral history of the Vietnam war, notes that the White House and the mainstream media seem to have little interest in keeping count of the GI's who continue to die in Iraq -- never mind the Iraqi civilians.
