So this is what we have come to. Not only are the coffins of the dead US soldiers hidden from the public, now, when a greiving mother shreiks out in pain, she is arrested by a government goon squad and thrown in a police van.
The crowd shouts "four more years" to drown her out. Four more years of what, exactly do they support?
Where is the compassion for the families who have sacrificed so much?
So sad.

Woman wearing 'President Bush You Killed My Son' T-Shirt disrupts first lady's rally

(09-16) 11:09 PDT HAMILTON, N.J. (AP) -- A woman wearing a T-shirt with the words "President Bush You Killed My Son" and a picture of a soldier killed in Iraq was detained Thursday after she interrupted a campaign speech by First lady Laura Bush.
Police escorted Sue Niederer of Hopewell, N.J., from a rally at a firehouse after she demanded to know why her son, Army 1st Lt. Seth Dvorin, 24, was killed in Iraq. Dvorin died in February while trying to disarm a bomb.
As shouts of "Four More Years" subsided, Niederer, standing in the middle of a crowd of some 700, continued to shout about the killing of her son. Secret Service and local police escorted her out of the event, handcuffed her and placed her in the back of a police van.
