Koppel will be reporting more on this tonight - Friday - on Nightline:
Quote:
from CNN
Sinclair Broadcast Group has ordered its seven ABC stations not to broadcast Friday's "Nightline" that will air the names and photographs of the more than 500 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war.

In a statement online, the Sinclair group said the "Nightline" program "appears to be motivated by a political agenda designed to undermine the efforts of the United States in Iraq."
Why are those lives not important when they die in a war created by a Pearl Harbor type attack, a war justified by lies, from a president who fears we might honor these soldiers?

First we have leaders who would deny the dead be remembered in the pictures and videos. Then they fear we would honor their names.

When Koppel was blunt about the ban on flagged draped caskets, he exposed the hypocracy of the same leaders who even lied to invade another sovereign nation - a classic Pearl Harbor type attack.
