No Harry, It doesn't remind me of anything.
Why the hell should we let the media play to our basest interests with photos of the dead. We know too many people died. Collect them and bury them with dignity, otherwise leave them the hell alone. Just my initial response to the post. Maybe with time and thought I might see it differently. "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... FEMA Blocks Photos of New Orleans Dead Does this remind you of anything else???? FEMA Blocks Photos of New Orleans Dead By E&P Staff Published: September 07, 2005 12:06 PM ET NEW YORK Forced to defend what some critics consider its slow response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said on Tuesday it does not want the news media to take photographs of the dead as they are recovered from New Orleans. FEMA, which is leading the rescue efforts, rejected requests from journalists to accompany rescue boats as they went out to search for storm victims, Reuters reported. A FEMA spokeswoman told the wire service that space was need on the rescue boats and assured Reuters that "the recovery of the victims is being treated with dignity and the utmost respect." "We have requested that no photographs of the deceased be made by the media," the spokeswoman told Reuters via e-mail.

Remind anyone of the Bushcrap Administration's efforts to conceal the body bags of returning dead from its war against Iraq? - - - George W. Bush, our hero! In his finest hour, the Commander In Chief boldly addresses America in her time of crisis: Send cash. |

I think it important for the public to see 10,000 body bags. I think *you* want to see it, Harry. You *are* one sick puppy. |

You assumed what I posted implies I'm ignorant of third, or more, parties, and you are wrong. you resort to profane ad hominem. Predictable. You've haven't proven you deserve any more. bb |
POOR HARRYKRAUSE
If it is good for Bush, it is GREAT for the United States. Foxes prefer fish heads, while possums prefer chicken parts, and raccoons and everyone else really like Purina cat chow.

Names are being withheld pending notification of the victims' families". Does that sound familiar? Happens all the time on the news. "Pending notification....." |

I don't need pictures of 10,000 body bags, an article telling me there were 10,000 of them is enough. This demand for pictures is nothing more than another cheap photo-op for the libs, on the backs of the families of the dead. Maybe you guys need the pictures on the menu, but most of us understand what we're ordering from the description. But hey... I would agree to the photos if the mayor of NO and the gov of LA we standing on top of them all. Amen! -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
