Well, apparently this friend has been quite busy, since the first thing that greeted me this morning on the AOL front page was this picture.

Silicio's employer Maytag issued a statement Thursday saying it "fully concurred" with the Pentagon policy banning photographs of GI caskets. Maytag Aircraft? Is this the same folks who make the washing machines? Stuff her in and put it on heavy duty cycle.
To: Miss Marple
The newspaper (Seattle Times)
got Silicio's permission and published the photo:
Silicio was let go (Wednesday) for violating U.S. government and company regulations
"I feel like I was hit in the chest with a steel bar and got my wind knocked out. I have to admit I liked my job, and I liked what I did," Silicio said.
Maytag also fired David Landry, a co-worker who recently wed Silicio.

As I was flipping channels last evening .....CNBC...MSNBC....CNN....all ran stories of the photos.
CNBC went as far as getting a mother from Maine who just lost a son in Iraq on .....then had her debate the editor from the Seattle Times....the editor lectured her on the good points of doing this.... the mother was not happy.

I am curious. What were the "good points" of doing this? I fail to see any at all. Of course the left thinks this is swell, as it gives them a propaganda photo.

LOL...I have found one provider worse, and that is the one my son has! If you think AOL is slow, SBC is unbelievable!
When I am babysitting (like I will be doing later today) I can do housework in between pages of different threads. HA!

Be nice to find out where these bitchghouls are.

What were the "good points" of doing this?Katz said that Silicio lost a son to a brain tumor about 5 years ago, and when she saw the caskets she thought how difficult it would be for the mothers of the dead soldiers to be so far away from their own sons, and to imagine their bodies being treated like "cargo"... Silicio was moved by the sight of the flag-draped caskets, and thought that the families would be comforted to know how respectfully the bodies were being treated. She sent a single photo to her friend (Katz), who felt compelled to share the photo with the Seattle Times. They advised her to get an agent because this photo would become huge news. At least that is the story Katz told last night... She definitely sounded a bit cagey about the sequence of events and what the money would be used for, but it was hard to tell if she was exploiting this for money from the beginning or if she was just naive, and hadn't anticipated the questions and thought her answers through before her MSNBC appearance.

Silicio was moved by the sight of the flag-draped caskets, and thought that the families would be comforted to know how respectfully the bodies were being treated. That is actually a very good response. While there is no other side to what the press is trying to do, there is perhaps another side to the issue between Silicio and the Pentagon.
To: kattracks
The Left has what they've desperately wanted: an unsolicited anti-Bush photo, straight from the Vietnam playbook.
And this is all The Sheep will see, and believe.
