Yeah, I agree. That's not a very good picture concerning the re-election campaign...

Although probably Nader will take enough votes again away from the democrat candidate and Bush will win. Sadly.

you exaggerate, he could launch the nukes and start a global thermonuclear war to prevent me from seeing the picture.
is there still room in arlington?
else i have a great idea. bush could dedicate the field in pennsylvania, where flight 93 crashed, as a cemetary and give a speech like lincolns gettysburg address.
have you noticed, that politicians are making ever less elegant speeches? if i compare lincolns to JFKs to reagans to bushs speeches i see a gradual decline. would people understand it at all if politicians today were talking like lincoln?

Well, at least it is helping the economy, just as Bush said it would!
The flag manufacturers are making a "killing"...
:drool:

(Sorry, some black humour there, i couldn´t help it)

Here's the URL to that site with the "banned" photos. The traffic there is so heavy right now that it's pretty slow-loading, but if you're persistant it will load eventually.

Bush is in a unique league of his own on that count, I think. I swear that the guy must have some sort of verbal dyslexia, if there is such a thing. It's very unusual for any [real] politician to be so totally incapable of constructing even a simple sentence without fouling it all up, as Bush always does. He speaks like an uneducated hick from the sticks.

It seems the photos are being held back.
I came across this article in CNN:

"DOVER, Delaware (AP) -- Photographs of flag-draped cases bearing American casualties from Iraq should not have been made public under a Pentagon policy prohibiting media coverage of human remains, officials said."

I thought there was freedom of speech and information, in America...
Oh well!
:confused:

When did showing a coffin or a case become the same as showing human remains? Yes I know the remains are in there, but it's not like you're showing a photo of a corpse.

I couldn't beleive my eyes when I read this:
Some 'coffin' photos claimed by NASA

What's next, claiming that the coffins contain the Civil War victims' remains?...

Bush definitely does not want ANY Americans to see the actual cost of his stupidity, his unbridled greed, or his arrogance. He's very big on censorship, and killing the "Freedom of the Press" these days. He has to be, given his outrageous conduct since taking office.

The photos are still up. You can find them here:

The Memory Hole

It is obvious that Bush is doing damage control, calling on every department head to make ludicrous affirmations in an atempt to keep these images under wraps.
If we weren´t so close to new elections, you can bet your ass he would try to get the Information Act revised and altered, even revogued, just to keep this out of the public eye.

PS:There´s also another "plausible" explanation to this Nasa thing.
It seems the MemoryHole got the photos in a CD-Rom, they didn´t take the photos themselfs. The CD might contain older photos, that they had in record and just throwed in inadvertedly. However, there were only 7 astronauts, and there are hundreds of diferent coffins. So i guess it doesn´t matter anyhow.
