I don't recall a lot of outrage whenever the media showed bagged remains
carried past lines of workers in the WTC wreckage.

I don't recall a lot of outrage at photos of Reagan pinning medals on
the coffins of Marines at Dover.

I don't recall a lot of right wing protests at Carter, Reagan, Clinton,
or George 1st grabbing all the sad photo ops that Dover provided.

Spare us your outrage and your hypocrisy. It smells of Bush's failed
adventures and decaying jingoism.

Does my response indicate, to you, outrage? Geez, I hope I never get angry with
you guys.

What is outrageouos is your belief that only you (et a few al's) can appreciate
the death of a soldier without seeing his coffin come out the back of an
airplane.

What is wrong with my suggestion that the funerals be televised? Is it that most
families would not allow the media to do so? Could it be that privacy is
desired?
