Don't Mention the Dead
When the body of US soldier Artimus Brassfield was flown to the
military mortuary at Dover, Delaware, there were no TV pictures of a

media coverage at the base. But can Bush's efforts to hide the body
bags quell growing public disquiet over the death toll in Iraq?

This has been the official Pentagon policy since 1991. Nice try.
