   This is far from the first time. When hubby was in Baghdad, Aaron Brown ran footage of an American sodiler in the gutter, dead. No faces, name tapes, or blood. But still, my only thought was, "Someone is going to wake up at 6 am tomorrow morning to see the chaplain standing at the door and realize that was their BABY dead on TV."I emailed Brown, and received a reply... "I didn't think it was that bad."Is there someone in a sealed box ten feet underground somewhere who doesn't know American boys and girls are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan? Death sells for them. THey could give a flying poo about the "importance of the story", it's about their ratings.It's most certainly not about those people who might have just witnessed their loved one's dying on a news program.
