CNN showing dead soldiers on T.V.

[notadmblnd]

I never thought I'd see it. Things really are turning around.

[Jacobin]

1. But, no pics of soldier's coffins, please!!

The repression of the news by the junta is starting to splinter.

[Rockholm]

7. Only Raygun's Flag-Draped Coffin Is OK

[disinfo_guy]

2. Conservative News Network is showing the bad side of war?

who would have thought.

[DrWeird]

3. I saw that. Good for them.

Maybe if we have a Mogadishu type incident with bodies being dragged through the streets they'll show that too.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

13. Burned body parts hanging from the bridge

in Fallujah seems to be the equivalent this time.

4. Now if only people don't let the big surprise, whatever it is

scare them into voting for *.

5. when is the last time they even mentioned a casualty?

I think it was aobut 240 dead ago.

6. perhaps this

8. Really?

They die? I thought someone just drove them to a big, nice farm and dropped them off.

[troublemaker]

9. Are they Americans or our Iraqi allies?

Just curious.

[Worst Username Ever]

10. I wonder what happened?

They don't seem to be wearing their gear, and are kind of in the same position/facing the same direction.

11. yes it was shown

but a certain higher up at the network today, this MORONIC rightwinger, insisted the video be severely limited in its use earlier today.

if he could have, he would have yanked it completely from the air.


did i say what a MORON this prick is?

[leftchick]

12. very strange... ABC news reporting each soldier shot once...

three in the chest and one in the head....:(

16. Executions?

Of course they're showing it if it's executions. Gets all the Bushies riled up and ready to kill more towelheads.

Sometimes I wonder if people on this board actually KNOW any rednecks. This kind of story just fuels the hate for them.

[greekspeak]

15. I thought Rummy and Co. had forbidden negative information about their

dirty little war. Isn't the line that "we don't want to see all this negativity?" I am sure they will get a scathing letter setting them straight.

[mike1963]

17. CBS eve news showed them too.

19. Ditto ABC

:wtf: Are they waking up?
