Ted Koppel is being political tonight when he airs his 'tribute' to American casualties in Iraq. He is attempting to play the Vietnam card by tugging at the viewer's heartstrings and impying that their deaths weren't worth the cause. If he truly wanted to honor America's fallen, he would select some of their letters home, or have some of their family speak, or otherwise indicate whether the deceased might or might not have felt their sacrifice was worthwhile. This rollcall broadcast has no context except their deaths.
