Return of the Fallen

 

PENTAGON RELEASES HUNDREDS MORE WAR CASUALTY HOMECOMING IMAGES

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT FORCES OPENING OF 360 NEW PHOTOS

 

CONFIRMS WAR CASUALTY HONOR CEREMONY IMAGES BELONG IN PUBLIC

 

National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 152

 

Washington, D.C., April 28, 2005 - In response to Freedom of

Information Act requests and a lawsuit, the Pentagon this week

released hundreds of previously secret images of casualties returning

to honor guard ceremonies from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and other

conflicts, confirming that images of their flag-draped coffins are

rightfully part of the public record, despite its earlier insistence

that such images should be kept secret.

 

One year after the start of a series of Freedom of Information Act

requests filed by University of Delaware Professor Ralph Begleiter

with the assistance of the National Security Archive, and six months

after a lawsuit charging the Pentagon with failing to comply with the

Act, the Pentagon made public more than 700 images of the return of

American casualties to Dover Air Force Base and other U.S. military

facilities, where the fallen troops received honor guard ceremonies.

The Pentagon officially refers to the photos as " images of the

memorial and arrival ceremonies for deceased military personnel

arriving from overseas. " Many of the images show evidence of

censorship, which the Pentagon says is intended to conceal

identifiable personal information of military personnel involved in

the homecoming ceremonies......

Please Pass This Video Feed On and On and On.

 

Dear Folks,

After watching this video feed, I felt my anger rise once more as it has done

steadily with the madness that surrounds us all, but any emotion that I feel

cannot compare with the anguish felt by the Iraqi citizenry whose innocent

mothers, fathers and children that are now DEAD and it was George W. Bush who

murdered them. I cannot imagine the grief and heart ache of those family

members of our military who are left behind after their loved ones were

sacrificed to serve under George W. Bush. He used them, he used them, and he

used them. There deaths mean nothing to him, nothing to him, nothing to him.

There is one place where George W. Bush belongs and that is in Hell along with

past madmen who plagued this planet. If I had but one wish right now it would

be for him to be standing trial in The Hague as a war criminal and where he is

ultimately convicted of war crimes against humanity.
