Ted Koppel devoting Friday's "nightline" to war dead

NEW YORK (AP) -- Ted Koppel will devote the entire half-hour of "Nightline" Friday to reading names and showing photographs of the more than 500 U.S. servicemen and women killed in action in Iraq, ABC announced Wednesday.

Each service member's photo will be shown, along with his or her name, military branch, rank and age as Koppel reads the name aloud. Since the ABC News broadcast is just 30 minutes, it will include only those killed in action in Iraq since March 19, 2003, as certified by the Defense Department.

I thought this was a pretty cool thing he was doing, i hope it will help the anti-war movement alot and get through to the people out there who dont realize how bad it is over there

I think it's cool too.

I don't think his intentions are cool, but I think this is cool.

Hell, anything that hurts Bush is cool to me, no matter the intentions. I might as well be honest....

What do you mean? You think this is anti-war? How will you feel in 2 years or so, when the body count reaches that of 9/11? This is another Vietnam.

At this point, any attempt to show the constituency of the U.S. the error of this invasion is good in my book. Even if its of this type of propoganda. Its apparently the only thing most of the American public understands.
