Stop Hiding the Toll of War By Nancy Lessin and Gordon Clark, AlterNet President Bush's rationale for taking us to war in The military planes carrying human remains fly into Dover
Air Force Base in One does not need to be a historian to know that the image
of dead Americans, returning day after day in body bags, helped turn The media blackout extends to the legions of wounded who
have returned from The Bush administration is trying to hide the reality
described by an Army Nurse Corps captain stationed at As hard as it may be, these are images the American people
need to see, to make informed decisions about this war and its costs. In their effort to keep this reality from the public,
the Bush administration has gone so far as to restrict access of professionally trained and accredited representatives of
Disabled American Veterans from military hospitals access that the DAV has had for more than six decades to counsel and work
with service members. The few visits that have been allowed are with pre-selected patients, and closely monitored. An administration that was honest about the true cost
of this war would have increased budget allocations to support the troops and their needs. Instead, in a continuing effort
to deny the reality and consequences of the war in The President is trying to hide damaging revelations about
pre-war intelligence by postponing reports until after Election Day. He will try to hide the human costs of this war, if the
American people let him. On March 14 and 15, as we approach the first anniversary
of this war, military families, including those who have lost loved ones in Iraq, veterans, clergy and peace activists will
gather at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to begin a Memorial Procession for Mourning and Truth. We will pull back the veil,
honor and mourn the dead and acknowledge the wounded both The memory of these individuals will then be brought to
the White House, along with the plea: Start telling the truth, stop hiding the toll, and bring an end to this war. Nancy Lessin is co-founder of Military
Families Speak Out; Gordon Clark is coordinator of the Iraq Pledge of Resistance. |
