For some reason, the Bush team believes that it's okay to use the flag-draped remains in the photo on the left in a political advertisement - but that it's not alright for Americans to see the flag-draped coffins of brave Americans coming home from Iraq, above. As Jerry points out (and ably defends in a fascinating back-and-forth with a detractor), this national leadership team seems selective in the use of the images of the glorious dead.
My Dirty Life & Times
- Tom Watson is a journalist, author, media critic, entrepreneur and consultant who has worked at the confluence of media technology and social change for more than 20 years. This long-running blog is my personal outlet - an idiosyncratic view of the world. "My dirty life and times" is a nod to the late, great Warren Zevon because some days I feel like my shadow's casting me.
