The names are given at the end of each night's news. And the names are given in my newspaper. I don't care if Koppel feels the need to spend an entire show reading them. That's up to him. I'm simply saying it IS political on his part. It has little or nothing to do with "honoring" anybody.
Did you ever wonder why we've been in Afghanistan now for almost 3 years, and Koppel hasn't spent a show reading the names of THOSE dead military personnel? Does he NOT care about those who gave their lives in Afghanistan? How about those 3 or 4 American military who lost their lives last week in Kosovo?
So, you don't think it's political? So, does that mean when images of 9/11 and specials on 9/11 appear on the tv on the anniversary which happens to be so close to the election....that you won't be claiming it's "all political?" The rest of us will keep all this in mind when you guys start complaining about that.
