When the US War Department was renamed the US Department of Defense, the Newspeak took over. Newspeak is visual as well. Think of all the clever names of simple fact that are sugarred up for us every day. I'm glad this is getting some attention.

After all, they used to drag the vehicle wrecks from teen drunk driving deaths into my high school parking lot to shape our actions to a reality based decision process. Why is this any different? I get to see rotted black lungs from smokers, little red wagons of fat, my brain wave patterns when pot smoking takes hold, and so on.....Why are our real enemies immune from curtain lifting?

Very good point. If we can show body parts and corpses of those 'killed by smoking,' it seems silly not to show them when they have REALLY been killed...unless, of course, there's some agenda behind it. But that couldn't be it. The media is fair, right?
