letter to the editor

Here is a copy of a letter to the editor appearing in today's Palm Beach Post:

Publish more photos of daily carnage in Iraq

I want to register my strong approval of The Post's printing on Tuesday's front page the picture of the seriously wounded Kimberly Dozier nearly completely obscured by medical equipment ("Wounded CBS journalist arrives in Germany").
Next, I hope the paper will start publishing daily pictures of the anonymous Iraqi civilians who are being maimed permanently by this unspeakably evil adventure foisted on the world by our "elected" leaders. Those brave, self-righteous "leaders" have been afraid to let the world see the pictures of the coffins of our soldiers for fear that our blissfully oblivious population might awaken sooner to the reality of the price that is being paid every day that this unlawful invasion continues.
Americans need to be reminded constantly of the true human cost of this war on Iraq, as it is all too easy to go about our daily routines and ignore the suffering that has been so unnecessary.
