Despite President Globetrotter's Pollyanna attitude towards his misbegotten war, and his administration's attempts to spin, smother and squelch all news coverage of the mounting casualties, the cold hard fact of these deaths remains. The Washington Post has established Faces of the Fallen, an accounting of each U.S. service member who has been killed in Iraq, somewhat similar to the Portraits of Grief from the NYTimes after September 11. It's updated every Friday. Is there anything sadder than the tabs at the top of the display to flip back to the casualties of earlier months?
