David Weinberger blogs in so many different places, it’s hard for me to keep up, so I missed the dumbfounding juxtaposition of the censorship of images of American casualties of the Iraq Conquest with the invocation of the deaths of New York firefighters in the WTC bombings.
If it’s wrong to show American citizens the flag-draped coffins of those who died protecting them, then it’s even more wrong to use such images for campaign publicity. Since the Bush campaign seems to have no selfconciousness, though, it’s probably too much to suppose that there’s a conscience at work among them.
