Bush Hides War Dead; Body Bags now Called 'Transfer Tubes' Tim Harper Toronto Star (Canada) thestar.com Posted 11/4/2003 8:13:00 AM November 2, 2003, Summary: As the saying goes, if you can't convince them, confuse them. With more lies told each day by President George Bush, here is yet another one. The US Department of Defense changed the name from "Body Bag" to "Transfer Tube" to describe how the bodies of our young warriors are returned home in the dark of night, with no official count of their growing numbers, and no solemn public ceremony to honor their proud service

I remember a documentary on the weaknesses in the Black Hawks......that they were not all that they were cracked up to be and the military kept ordering them with apparent lack of concern for whatever defects they exhibited. IT might have been on 60 Minutes I don't remember but it would appear that what was reported has come back to haunt us and kill a lot of American Boys. Too bad. I would feel dreadful were I a mother of one of those in the crashes which have been unsubstantiated as caused by any opposition forces. Suma
