Pentagon asked Media to Muffle 2000 War Dead

This is sickening... via Editor & Publisher: On Tues, US Army Lt Col Steve Boylan, a military spokesman in Iraq, wrote in an e-mail to reporters, "The 2000 service members killed in Iraq supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom is not a milestone. It is an artificial mark on the wall set by individuals or groups with specific agendas and ulterior motives." How disrespectful is this? Can you imagine being the loved ones of the service members who happened to be #1999 and #2000 to die? Why don't they just come right out and keep the number below 2000 for wks-- maybe even months-- so they can keep that "non-existent" milestone from being a milestone. As if America hasn't already caught on to the fact that this milestone marks what happens to human beings when your Prez is a big fat liar, narcissistic sociopath and raging fuck-up.
