Reading the 4000 names; the Nashua, New Hampshire edition
An E-Mail that I received:

On Friday starting at 1100 hours in front of Senators Sununu's
and Gregg's office on Main Street in Nashua, we are going to
read the names of the 4,000 US soldiers who have died as of
today in Iraq. I wish we could read the names of the Iraqis
who have died, but unfortunately, we cannot even identify who
many of them are.

If anyone can help either to read names or just to stand vigil
together, please email me right away and let me know. If possible,
I would like to see at least three people there at all times as
there is safety in numbers.

Email me and let me know when you can be there. If you cannot plan
ahead of time, then just show up when you can. Anyone who can
come, even if just for a few minutes, would be very much appreciated.

Please get back with me as soon as you can. Once I know that we
will have enough people to actually do this I will let (redacted)
know so she can ensure the Nashua Telegraph knows.

And feel free to pass this on to anyone who might be able to help -
even if it is to persons who have not participated before. Anyone
who is as angry as we are about this is welcome to share this with us.

Thanks so much,
(Email-address-removed)

1. How about reading the names of the Iraqi dead?

2. Did you read the original post?
If we knew them, we would.

3. Yes, I did
Many of the names are known -- far more than 4,000 of them, I'm sure.

4. Then perhaps you can light a candle (by providing us a list) rather than cursing the darkness. (NT)

5. Trying to extricate yourself by pretending I have to do your work for you!
Remarkable.

7. It's okay -- you can admit that you like to post on web sites but don't actually *DO* anything. (NT)
