This segment on the anniversary of the Iraq war is really turning into the story of the day. The entire segment, at least so far, amounts to dramatic readings - by actors - of letters from soldiers killed in Iraq, along with heart-rending footage of the families left behind.
This would be fine if you sensed there was a patriotic message from Today behind it. But of course there is no such thing.
Katie ended the segment - never mentioning the positive things that have been accomplished - by saying that they salute the 1500 killed. Not their accomplishments, not the freedom won for others, but just them. This was nothing more than exploitation of those 1500 for the political purpose of condemning the war in which they died and the administration that sent them there. Disgusting.
Just up and forgot the election, did she? Gee, go figure.
