'Nightline' To Read More Names
To follow its controversial tribute to U.S. war dead in Iraq, Nightline plans to read off the names of 122 people who have been killed in the war on terror since Oct. 2001 when the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. The reading of the names will come at the end of tonight's (Friday) broadcast, which concerns the Army guards at Arlington Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknowns. As of Thursday, Sinclair Broadcasting, which had refused to carry the original tribute on the grounds that it was motivated by an anti-war agenda, had not indicated whether it would carry tonight's program.

They should have read them the first time. Now they are trying to fix it.
Just my opinion.

No ...they made a political thing out of it.......by .........only naming those killed in the Iraq battle ....not the entire ........."War on Terrorism".
Just my opinion.

Well thats true......
I think America's percepction of WAR is kind of a Tunnel vision....perpetuated by historians and the victors.....of course.....
This should be a war fought by special forces in my opinion.....It's far from being a conventional war.
Conventional war is tanks , infantry, artillery, and air power.....
These people are fighting as guerillas.....and should be fought as such.
Just my opinion.
