How do we know there's a war if they keep hiding the dead?

[Philosoraptor]

I read today that sixty bodies were found, bound and tortured to death in Baghdad, yet it barely registers on the news. If over one hundred people a day were being tortured to death and dumped like garbage in the streets of Detroit or Boston, there would be graphic photos and outrage and mayhem, but, its happening over there, and we're over here.

Also, our dead are hidden, not even their flag draped coffins are allowed to be seen by we, the consumers and providers of sons and daughters. And our crippled soldiers are hidden as well, because, well because we are too sensitive to see that sort of thing, and god forbid our kids ever see it, cause they'll soon be in it, and we can't have that.

And the untold thousands of dead in Iraq, we never see them, never see the blood, the body parts lying burnt in the street, the grieving mothers and children, we don't see it, we can't see it, we are not allowed to see it.

I strongly believe that if we started to show Americans what their tax dollars go to, the war might stop, or at least slow down. We need to get used to seeing the tortured to death lying about in the streets, we need to see our shattered soldiers, and the flag draped coffins, we need to stop hiding them and LOOK AT THEM.

Look at it. Brace yourselves and look at it. You are a part of it, you pay for it, you ought to be able to see the results of it.

1. There is also the categorization of things. I wrote (was gone about

a month), that is incredibly defined to conceal the true number of deaths and casualties. The McLaughlin Group, has posted numbers concerning Iraq that you will find no where else. It is the categories that will make your head spin ie, "seriously wounded", "amputeed", something else and mentally ill (Their numbers where about 60,000 US soldiers).

Then we hear of the DOD, using the same kind of technique, concerning the number of Iraqis killed, (which McLaughlin had a 130,000), by excluding certain kinds of deaths.

The TRUE breath of the instantly killed, eventually killed from wounds suffered or toxins, and the maimed physically and mentally, will be overwhelming in the historical context. We have been manipulated by intentional selective categorization of information for reporting purposes, to diminish the real tolls taken by both the Iraqis and the Americans.

2. it's not nice to lie to God

you can lie to us, but God knows the true toll, and the liars will pay someday

3. Problem is God knows and has offered us free will. Remember,

the least of you will be the greatest in heaven, but it really sux for those of us who follow, and see no justice here on earth. Justice is coming, but it is for the JUDGE, not for us.
