In fact they may have done just that, tried to inform the MSM first but with no effect, just my guess, pathetically speaking.
GOD BLESS THEY FAMILY FOR SPEAKING OUT ON THIS. I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL WHO HAVE LOST LOVE ONE'S. THEY HAD A MAN WHO HAD LOST A BROTHER TODAY ON FOX NEWS AND HE SAID HE AND HIS FAMILY SUPPORTS THE PRESIDENT AND THE WAR. AND LOST OF HIS BROTHER ONLY MAKES THERE FAMILY STRONGER FOR THE WAR. HIS BROTHER WAS A MARINE. FOR EVERY ONE OF MRS. SHEEHAN THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES WHO SUPPORT THE WAR. THEY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO ALL OF US. I SEND CONDOLENCES TO ALL WHO HAVE LOST LOVE ONE'S (THOSE WHO HAVE GOTTEN INJURED) AND ASK GOD TO BLESS THEM WITH THE BEST OUR COUNTRY HAS TO OFFER.
