Nightline Devotes Show to Sacrifices in Iraq
by TChris
President Bush doesn't think Americans should see the consequences of the war in Iraq, particularly the flag-draped coffins waiting to be flown back home. (TalkLeft has one photo here with links to the rest.) As Peabody award winner Bill Gallagher observes: "The truth is the president's torturer, and any image that challenges his arrogant fantasies must be stopped."
Truth will surely torture the President Friday night, when ABC's Nightline will devote its entire program to reading the names of the war dead while showing their photographs. The executive producer of the program hopes that this effort to honor the sacrifices our soldiers have made (as the President asked us all to do) will cause viewers to "take some time to reflect on the price that these men and women have paid in our names."
