Are they repairing the crosses at Camp Casey now (4 am PST)?
I'm not sure if this has been brought up in other threads.

I know it is desecration, but they should not clean up Arlington West until daylight and after the news media has a chance to visually record what happened.

Media, both print and electronic, need good visuals. (I know, because I'm in the business). The reason the mowing over of the crosses has gotten little media attention (mostly just a paragraph or two deep into the story) is because this happened at around 10 pm, when most reporters are back in their hotel rooms, and also there wasn't enough light to get pics.

From my point of view, Arlington West should be left in its devastated state for at least until midafternoon, so that the media can record it, then beam it out to the rest of the world to expose an example of wingnut atrocities.

This could be a media coup. All that crazed driver has done is created more empathy for Ms. Sheehan.

3. Anyone have a hot line to the Peace House to suggest they
leave the carnage for the media to photograph? Up close photos of dead soldiers' names on broken crosses would be quite moving. I still can't believe someone would do that, but they have so let's use it.
