the excuse is that its a 'tribute' because people don't see names, just numbers. i wonder who they ask but i for one see the faces/stories all the time. i see every other day the families being interviewed after a troops death.

ABC has an agenda and are using this to fan the flames to put an uglier face on the war. the people who use their power to not have it shown have an agenda to keep the bad perspective off the tv. both sides are scum, and society falls for both sides instead of condemming them all together. such bllshit.
I agree with you ! This quote from ABC by their own admission this should not be aired!

Quote:
ABC said that on the first anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks it aired the names and pictures of all those who died on that day.
Quote:
"ABC News will continue to report on all facets of the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism in a manner consistent with the standards which ABC News has set for decades," it said.

The standards are to do the anniversary shows on things like this is when they are over!

9/11 happend in one day!So they had an anniversary show one year later!

The war is not over so there is no anniversary yet! So ABC's own statement makes them look stupid in my eyes!
I would also like to know why they are only showing those who died in Iraq! What about the other soliders fighting in Afgan. who died there? I guess they aren't qualifed to appear on their anniversary show? They don't fit into their political agenda maybe?

They should air it so we can see it so we can see how much ABC really cares about our troops by using them as political tools!
I won't ever watch anything from them again if it's as bad as it seems people who saw it are saying it is!

ABC and the whitehouse forget one thing! Americans aren't stupid and can put two and two together!
Will we know by watching it if it is political or not!If it is like they say it is then ABC will go down in flames!
