Does anyone remember a posting

[hyphenate]

about a week ago (or less) where there were parents who had just gotten their son's body back in a locked casket, and they had someone at the funeral home help them in breaking the lock, to find that their son had been murdered and not committed suicide, just days before he was scheduled to come home?

If anyone remembers, could you give me the source? I was citing it for a bunch of assholes on another board, and I wanted to shove it into their repuke faces.

2. Yeah

He was in Iraq.

3. I remember seeing that post because they opened it and he had NOT

committed suicide. I'm sorry I will look in archives to see if I can find it (if I can get into archives),.

6. He committed 'Bushicide'

If I remember correctly he was shot in the back of the head. The same as the "suicides" of 3 journalists writing about the Bush family and woman who accused Dubya of rape.

Subject: FEMA Wants No Photos of Dead 9/7

Just like Operation Iraq Freedom. No photos of the dead.

I went to the Bring the Troops Home Tour in Evanston, IL last night. I heard many heartbreaking and breathtaking speakers. Many were Gold Star Parents. Some were anti-war and Peace activists. There was a Blue Star wife - her husband is awaiting deployment to Iraq in November. One of the most heartbreaking story I heard was that told by the father of a soldier who - if I have the timeline correct, was scheduled to return from Iraq, and was killed reportedly by his own hand, just hours before his return. The family wanted to attend his return in Dover. They were denied. They were told that this soldier had committed suicide (only minutes after a phone conversation with his family) but were not allowed to see his body.

They requested an open casket funeral. They were denied and discovered the casket had been locked shut. They finally convinced a person at the funeral home to open the casket in order to see their son before he was to be buried. They discovered he had been shot in the back of his head. They were told by his fellow soldiers that this happened when he was showering following his phone call. Upon further investigation, they also learned (from his friends in the military) that his own firearm had not been used. Days later, when they went to the funeral home they learned that the worker who had opened the casket for them to see their beloved son had been fired from her job.

No photos. No viewings. Not at Dover, nor at the funeral home. If they don't see their beloved family members, then this government can say whatever it wants. The stories are just that - stories. They don't have to make sense. They don't have to be true.

Now no photos. No viewings. Not in New Orleans. Not in the Superdome. Not in the nursing homes. Not in the streets. The stories will be just that - stories. They won't have to make sense. They won't have to be true.

We must keep the lies of being safe at home alive. No matter how many dead we have.

We must have accountability and we will never get it from this government. We will have more lies, more tax breaks for the rich, more moneys for Halliburton. This government must be impeached! (can we impeach a government?)

There is a march and rally at the White House on September 24. People are coming from all over the nation.

We must show our disgust and anger toward this administration's lack of humanity. Please join the thousands already committed to demand accountability and change.
