-Caveat Lector- From: Nancy
This administration says they don't look at polls or public opinion to make policy. No they just throw out the most outrageous stuff to see if they can get away with it. Then when the public outcry is loud enough they retreat and withdraw. -------------------- Pentagon drops cremation plan -------------------- Items compiled from Tribune news services February 16, 2003 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- After an outcry from the families of service members, the Pentagon has backed off a proposal to cremate any U.S. troops killed by biological or chemical attacks in a war against Iraq rather than bringing their bodies home for burial, defense officials said. The Pentagon also has decided not to bury in mass graves the corpses of U.S. troops that might be health hazards. The proposals were considered as a way to prevent the spread of chemical or biological agents from contaminated bodies to people back home. But the proposals raised concerns among veterans groups. The Pentagon said late last week that "cremation was not an option. Cases involving contaminated remains will be handled with the dignity and respect accorded to all remains."
