Reply #33: Photo phuck up [View All]

[lapfog_1]

The guy from the memoryhole.org filed a FOIA for all photos.
The Air Force compiled and sent him dozens(?) of photos.

They included photos of the Columbia astronauts, but lots of photos
of war dead too.

Were the astronauts ever at dover? Yes, remains of all 7 were
collected from various crash sites and sent there (DNA analysis for
one thing). I believe that the casket of the Israeli astronaut was,
in fact, draped with the flag of Israel and sent to Israel.

The Air Force complied to the letter of the FOIA filed... possibly
WITH the knowledge that not all photos were of soldiers KIA. This
could be (for conspiracy theorists) the perfect poison pill. If
the photos came out (otherwise, why file an FOIA), then when published
they could be discredited (as they now have been) and even better,
the repugs could charge that the publishers are "playing politics
with the bodies of dead heroes".

The photo taken by the lady working in Kuwait (with 20 caskets),
for which she and her husband are fired, is valid... then all of a
sudden the Dover photos come out and the story that they are of
the Columbia astronauts... preplanned to discredit ALL photos of
war dead.

It was a setup.

And we (the collective left side) fell right into the trap.
Should have vetted the photos before releasing them... but it was
a natural mistake.
