HIDING THE FALLEN: Center for American Progress, 3/18/2004 Military families are speaking out. They are angered that "officials have barred media coverage of the bodies of troops arriving at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware," as well as "the president's decision not to attend funerals of soldiers killed in the war," which they feel "illustrates the administration's reluctance to acknowledge the rising number of dead and wounded." Six hundred protestors - including families of soldiers killed in Iraq - marched in Dover, DE, last weekend in protest, and yesterday, a group of antiwar "activists, veterans and military family members" came to Washington, just blocks from the White House, to read the names of the fallen in Iraq.
