Subject: BS: 60 Minutes Shows US Casualty Pics...
Well, I'm sure that the pro-Bush folks will scream "un-American" or "un-patriotic" but tonight's showing of "60 Minutes" showed pics of the 800+ US sericepeople who have died in Iraq. They moved at a steady clip but it still took a full 11 minutes to show them all...

In these times of tremendous pressure being placed on the media by the current adminisrtaion, and the media giving in almost all the time, I was both saddened but glad that CBS, and Andt Rooney, stepped up to the plate...

Now, if they had shown the faces of the 20,000 US service people who have been injured, the 10,000 to 20,000 Iraqis who have died, the 100,000 or so Iraqis injured, the millions of Iraqis who died during the 10+ years of santions then it would take days and days to show all the suffering from the US policy toward Iraq....

But this is a start...
