we would ask that you first question Mr. Koppel as to why he chose to read the names of 523 troops killed in combat in Iraq, rather than the names of the thousands of private citizens killed in terrorist attacks since and including the events of September 11, 2001.
The names of the people who died in 9/11 WERE read aloud on TV! During a ceremony on the site of the attack. All of them.
This has not been done to honor those who died in Iraq.
