Unwarranted? Undignified?
John Molino, Deputy Undersecretary of Defense, said the Pentagon did not want the showing of Coffins of American Servicemembers to be the subject of any kind of attention that is unwarranted or undignified.

The Pentagon would also like you to know that the cause of their deaths was warranted and the way they died was dignified.

Has anyone seen any unwarranted or undignified use of the pictures of coffins? Didn't think so. The pictures are however, glaring proof of what bush and cheney are doing to this country.

1. One complaint was that they wanted to
protect the deceased and their identities. I've seen no names associated with the Dover pix, or even dates of arrival.

Death was "warranted" and they died "dignified"? What a sales job.

2. no one can tell who is in the coffins
they are all identical, no families will be exposed to any more grief than they already have when the got the awful news.

they are all containers with a brightly colored cloth layed on them.
hiding the horror of war away from our sensitive eyes.
