D.C. delegation disagrees on signal sent by POW flag

[Rose Siding]

...About half the 535 congressional offices display the black flag, along with U.S. and state flags.
...
But many lawmakers, including the state's most prominent conservative in Congress, Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Pasco, do not hang the banner.
"I proudly fly the flag I've always believed matters most to our POWs and MIAs: Old Glory, the flag they fought to defend," he said in a statement. "Ours is a government office and the flags flown there are government flags — the flag of our nation and the flag of our great state."

Navy veteran and liberal Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Seattle, also has declined to hang the flag.
"I have people say 'Why don't you hang the U.N. flag?' I represent 690,000 people," he said. "I can't fly everybody's flag. I prefer to keep it simple."
...
League of Families spokesman Freitas says the group keeps track of the banners displayed: "We take note of who has the flag and who doesn't."
