There is nothing wrong with this picture

...or any of the others that have been released. This is not the photo that was printed in the Seattle Times, but one of many that were shown on the internet after they were obtained by a private citizen through the Freedom of Information Act. This is the reality of war, that soldiers die, and flag draped coffins are what they come home in.


What's the White House trying to hide? This isn't propaganda, this isn't a protest, this is REALITY Mr. President. We should not have our news censored. Greta Van Susteren had a poll over at FOXNews, asking if it was right to have the flag draped coffin pictures shown to the general public, and an overwhelming majority said that it was right, that we should not have our news sanitized.

All I want from my news is THE TRUTH...is that too much to ask?

In closing, I'd like to express my condolences to the family of former Arizona Cardinals star Pat Tillman, who was killed fighting in Afghanistan. This man gave up a multi million dollar contract to serve his country, and he made the ultimate sacrifice. He's a real hero...
