Truth and Other Casualties: "A few days ago, the 50th casualty of the U.S. First Airborne Division, which is based at Fort Campbell, Ky., arrived home and was honored with a funeral procession estimated to be 80 kilometers long. "

Was this on TV? A funeral procession 50 miles long is something I have never heard about. Surely this should be front page news, unless it's true that the news about dead soldiers returning from Iraq is being censored.. "The U.S. television networks have feebly accepted the new Pentagon ruling that they can't show the coffins of America's young men returning from Iraq. The dead may come home, but they do so in virtual secrecy."
