CNN just showed three dead soldiers as fallen heroes. Good grief the sheeple are waking up.

3. I don't understand your post.

How is CNN showing three dead soldiers indicative of the "sheeple" waking up? :shrug:

4. CNN does not show

dead soldiers. That shocked me.

[Dhalgren]

7. Oh. Gotcha. If CNN is going to start covering the actual war, then

maybe the people are starting to come-to. Gods, I hope so...

11. Let's hope anger is rising n/t

6. would you clarify?

You mean they showed images of three dead American soldiers? That would be news indeed as there's been a media black-out on such images from the start of the war.

10. No they showed their photos

and gave us details of their deaths in Iraq - very unusual.

8. 3 dead soldiers make news when 2400 did not? What's changed?

[EFerrari]

14. I hate that "fallen heroes" crap and I hate that "ultimate sacrifice"

bs.

It's frosting to cover the unforgivable betrayal of sending these people into harm's way for the Bush Family cronies.

That isn't "sacrifice", that's murder.
