U.S. mortuary sees no let-up from Iraq war dead (tags)
Nearly a month after Saddam Hussein's capture, American war dead from Iraq continue to arrive with somber regularity at the wind-swept Air Force base in Delaware that is home to the world's largest mortuary.... There, at the U.S. military's only stateside mortuary, the remains are identified, autopsied, embalmed, clothed in dress uniforms, placed in coffins and shipped to grieving relatives in the company of military escorts.
Saturday's television "news" was filled with the story of an Iraqi "execution camp" having just been found by U.S. forces. Every single news channel referred to the "grisly find", describing the "mutilated human remains" as proof that "something evil" had happened at the site. Alternately called a possible "death camp", "execution camp", and "torture center", the corporate media did their best to make the facility look like a Nazi concentration camp liberated by the Allies.
