Pentagon Uncovers Remains From Suspected Burial Site of H. Dean's Brother

[LuminousX]

WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon said Tuesday it has uncovered remains from the site in Laos where Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean's younger brother was believed to have been killed nearly 30 years ago.

The remains have not been officially identified, but were uncovered in a grave along with some of Charles Dean's personal items, said Howard Dean's campaign spokeswoman, Tricia Enright.

The candidate was notified of the discovery a few days ago, Enright said.

Charles Dean was a 24-year-old graduate of the University of North Carolina traveling the world when he and a companion, Neil Sharman of Australia, were arrested in Laos by the communist Pathet Lao.

1. Coincidence?

Or is this just one more attempt to taint Dean?

You will see when the ensuing publicity is spun by Rove and Kerry.

Digging up old skeletons is a trait of the skull and boners

2. How would this taint Dean?

I thought it would be a good thing for Dean. Sympathy, etc.

Though it could be an attempt to highlight war records.

Or it could just be a legitimate thing.

7. True, but now the only one to be left open is the Murdoch article.

And everyone's still talking about the "news" that John Dean is Howard Dean's father...!
