  •  Traffic to Memoryhole has been heavy all day (none / 0)

    but I managed to get through & see the pix about half an hour ago. Access is really slow, though, due to high use of bandwidth, I'm sure.

    A lot of them are just shots of the plane arriving, hearses, stuff like that, but there are lots more of flag covered "tubes" being carried out, etc.

    I did not look at all 361, however. It would have taken too much time.

    Let's get some Democracy for America

      glad to know that the site wasn't shut down by some over-zealous pentagon folks....  i was a little worried.

      •  heavy traffic (none / 0)

        i think the heavy traffic (which was reported on the evening news as well) just shows that people are really hungry to see these.  and i don't think it's all mischievous liberals or anything like that.  the pics show a pretty solemn and respectful treatment of the dead, and i think that many military families and other "support the troops" types are looking at them to pay their respects.

        it would be interesting to document this if true, it would put the lie to the pentagon's claim that the photo freeze from 1991 was at the request of military families.  that might make sense if they were showing bloody corpses, but flag draped coffins being saluted by marines? who wouldn't want that picture of their loved ones' sacrifice being shown?

        so now the facts are partisan?
