Those who've lost loved ones in Iraq join in dissent
Timing coincides with White House PR campaign

TIM HARPER
WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON—Sue Niederer never doubted what the future held for her son Seth Dvorin and her daughter-in-law Kelly.

"Oh, those kids, they would have knocked the world apart," she says.

Instead, on Feb. 3, their worlds were blown apart when 24-year-old U.S. Army Lt. Seth Dvorin died in a blast from a makeshift bomb south of Baghdad

18. These people have credibility

No one better to CONFRONT the CHIMPANZEE than a mother who has lost her child fattening the pockets of Halliburton and President Cheney.
(he's the guy who runs Amerika through his witless Chimp sock puppet)

4. The absence of an outcry of 6 more soldiers dead just this weekend

Must be awful for the families of those that have died in this war of convenience! I hope the media adequately covers the protest at Dover and interviews some of the families!!

20. They don't want the american people..

to KNOW the truth!! It's a disgrace..Time to get the people on the streets..Look at the amount of people in the streets in Madrid..and other countries..Are the american people afraid or what? We shouldn't let this go..they've pulled enough BS on the people..Why do we permit this farce to continue..Someone's responsible for mass murder and grand theft.

17. update

http://www.freep.com/news/statewire/sw94504_20040314.htm

An update on the story. Sue Niederer was verbally attacked by some Bush "war supporter" and ended up in a shouting match. What is wrong with these people? A mother is not allowed to grieve her son's death in peace? She is not allowed to protest the war that killed her own son because it's unpatriotic? I wish I would have been there to give her a hug and give the guy a swift kick in the....

19. Welcome to DU, riverwalker.

It is disgraceful that people see stifling dissent as somehow patriotic. And when has our president ever discussed the subject? Never. the loyalty of those people is to a politician and not to this country.
