AP's Goulish Memorial Day.
The Associated Press celebrates Memorial Day, in their special, ghoulish, advocacy journalism way:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070526/...q_memorial_day
U.S. deaths near grim Memorial Day mark.
With a very special leading paragraph, featuring open graves.
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/BAGHDAD - Americans have opened nearly 1,000 new graves to bury U.S. troops killed in Iraq since Memorial Day a year ago. The figure is telling — and expected to rise in coming months.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

Last night, my husband and I spoke with a WWII vet who was at a store front collecting money for veterans hospitals. He had all sorts of WWII memorabilia, including a German army helmet with several bullet holes in it. He said he "took it from a dead German soldier". It had a Nazi insignia on it, and was really chilling to see. The man we spoke with an American of Jewish descent, and was present at Birkenau. He was 84 years young, and his stories were fascinating.
If the AP writers truly wanted to honor our veterans, these are the kinds of stories they should be writing. But they'd rather make an anti-war statement.

The AwtP associated with terrorists Press. A bunch of traitors who have no business reporting anything.

My grandpa fought in WW2 as well. My older brother is a WW2 buff and our grandma gave him a lot of my grandpa's things,including a large knife with a swastika on the handle that my grandpa had taken off of a German soldier. I didn't know much about WW2 until I was a senior in high school,and when we did learn about it,I thought it was fascinating. I love to look at newspapers and things from that time.Last night, my husband and I spoke with a WWII vet who was at a store front collecting money for veterans hospitals.
