Iraqi Civilian Deaths ... caused by Bush's unprovoked war

 

Dead Soldier's Mother Handcuffed & Arrested at Laura Bush Speech
(John P. McAlpin, Associated Press, September 16, 2004)
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. Local police escorted her from the event, handcuffed her and put her in the back of a police van. . . . Niederer was later charged with defiant trespass and released. . . . The first lady continued speaking, touting her husband's record on the economy, health care and the war on terror to those attending the rally in this suburban community of 90,000 people near Trenton. . . . "Too many people here had a loved one that went to work in New York that day," Bush said. "It's for our country, it's for our children, our grandchildren that we do the hard work of confronting terror."

[COMMENT: That quote is quite chilling when thought of in the context of Orwell's "1984". This is definitely newspeak, "the hard work of confronting terror." Give me a break!]
