However, it does seem like there's an effort to sanitize the war: things are always "getting better" even though they're not, etc. I just found it refreshing that the SecDef would single out an individual, tell his story, talk about his family, and tell America what a great person they had just lost. Basically by doing this, the Pentagon is saying that there's a cost to the war and here it is. That good information and a data point that Americans can use to judge the policy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:238937 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
