even though the return of their coffins is banned from press coverage? Bring'em on! I don't know where you live but in California this woman's death is getting a lot of coverage. She was a 19-year old who was supposed to have a desk job as a switchboard operator. The parents are devastated (understandably) and the news is showing their reaction which is very negative and critical of Bush, not the typical "she died for her country" that you usually hear. Lau's parents spent Monday wondering if somehow the news could be a mistake, while greeting caravans of well-wishers and reporters at their home. They were proud of their daughter's service, they said,but also angry about the circumstances of their daughter's death. "Nobody can find the weapons," Agustin Lau told KCRA television. "And then, the other thing is, after the war finished, there was more death." sfgate.com

Lizzie got it right. So which country do you live in? Maybe it needs liberation. Here in the United States, the gov't is banned from censoring the press and, as she pointed out, just last evening on all the TV news programs there was extensive coverage of the fact that those coffins had arrived. Oh, and there were numerous articles on the web about it. I found this: wsws.org Do you notice who's putting that out? Oh, the date of that is 10/23/2003. But then there's this: signonsandiego.com signonsandiego.com signonsandiego.com Notice those dates are later. You're right. Bush is incompetent. He can't even censor the press properly.
