A Proper Burial

One of the Bushit Assministration's tactics in trying to minimize the human costs of the war in Iraq was to limit media coverage of burials of the fallen at Arlington National Cemetery. Last month, Lisa Gray, the public affairs director for the cemetery was fired for trying to accomodate the wishes of families for the media to cover the burials of their fallen heroes. The Bushies, of course, would rather the public not see the funerals or the grief.

The Army Department has an investigation into the firing of Ms. Gray. We'll see where that goes, but it won't compensate for the lives lost in Dumbya's war of vengeance and hubris.
