Then why the "relatively" little coverage of the death of a true American hero (a soldier in Little Rock who had just completed basic training after making a commitment to protecting this country while in the midst of multiple wars)? Versus the massive media coverage of the death of an abortionist who kills fetuses in the final hours before they become living children?

Dumb question...one is murder the other a war casualty...and as heartbreaking as the death of a soldier is, it happens far more frequently (thanks to bush) than the premeditated murder of a doctor, who, according to what I have read, was not breaking the law.

Was the soldier repeatedly attacked over a period of years while the authorities did nothing? I don't think so..
