It's gotta be them trying to spin this down.
Honestly, who else would rate this a 1 or 2?

6. Yeap, just checked the Yahoo message board on this

The freepers are going balistic. They must be dumping cookies by the thousands in an attempt to bury this story. On and on about how these soldiers died for our freedoms.

That meanie Saddam, I didn't even know he stole my freedoms.

7. I don't think dumping cookies works for Yahoo

You would have to have multiple accounts to freep it.

9. Who else would claim to support the troops

while treating their deaths like an embarrassment to be covered up?

8. Post messages there too.

Ask why freepers want to dishonor the sacrifices of dead soldiers by burying the story. Ask them why they are ashamed of the soldiers they claim to "support". Is it honoring their deaths to cover them up to keep them from embarrassing a coke snorting deserter?
