That was my son's unit. He was killed on that day 04/04/04. Here is a letter that I wrote to NightLine about the broadcast:

To Whom it May Concern:
Imagine my distress when I turned Night Line on last night and I was confronted with the gory details of my son's murder in Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq on 04/04/04. Imagine, also, my sorrow and rage at the side of the story that you presented to the American public.
[SNIP]
I was on the Night Line Townhall Meeting in Washington, DC on 01/27/05. After I spoke (which I think was a fluke), Ted Koppel dismissed me as being "emotional." First of all, how can I approach this discussion without emotions, MY SON WAS KILLED, AND KILLED FOR LIES? Second of all, that show was not fair and balanced and I think the conclusion "Should we stay" was foregone.
The show last night was also not fair and balanced. To see all the wives being interviewed who had not lost their husbands and to hear what "hard work" it is to be left behind when their husbands are at war. How hard to you think it is to have a child killed in an illegal and immoral war? In this "wonderful" group of families left behind, we had exactly ONE of the wives call us..she is Diane Rose who was my son's Colonel, Frank Rose's wife. The last time we heard from Diane was in October and we feel we have been left behind by anyone connected to the 2-5 Cavalry. Is support only given if your loved one stays alive? One wife was quoted as saying that Sundays were the hardest for the families left behind. My son was killed on Palm Sunday last year..how does anybody think Sundays are for my family?
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy...not for the real reason, becuase the Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy. That hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq...in fact it has gotten worse.
It would be so amazing if your show would put me, or another parent who lost their child on who disagrees with the war and this administration: to have just an entire show..without presenting the false side of the debate. That would take a lot of courage and integrity. I hope your program will exhibit these qualities.
I also think that Mr. Koppel owes me an apology for the rude way I was treated on his show. After I expressed myself about the war being based on lies and that the troops should be brought home immediately because the war was based on lies, I was not thanked for my comments, or my son's sacrifice. He just said to keep the discussion away from emotions. Then, the wife of a soldier who was killed was allowed to speak and she praised the policies of this deplorable and despicable administration, and she was thanked and praised by the panel.
By the time we made our way through the floods and got into Crawford, I had a fever, sore throat, and bad headache. So I was made to rest and not have any interviews until noon.
Outrageous!
Not if it reduces my share.
What is going on Saturday?
She's lying to her own diary? Am I reading that right?
Groucho, Chico, or Harpo?
This coming from a women calling the President a chicken for not meeting with her
Most couldn't leave the city, as they were too poor to have any other place to live.
It was mostly the wealthier inhabitants, who fled to their country estates.
She is using her son's death to promote her left wing agenda. That is sickening. She is using people to get sympathy for herself not her son who served his country with honor. I thank him for his service and prayers to him. May he rest in peace.

Hospitals moved to bunkers, in the middle of nowhere? And if not in the middle of nowhere, then to where? You don't feel well, the nearest hospital is 300 miles away, and all you have is your bicycle.Maybe you have cancer or pneumonia or you broke your leg and you're going to bicycle 300 miles to be treated?
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha
Hmmmmm...let's look at this even more closely, shall we? There's still manufacturing in this country. Goodness only knows just where you think the workers will live, to get to their daily jobs and WHY no terrorists would bother much with them, but you do. And no, you can't smelt steel in a bunker!
You think that living in the wild is a deterrent to the Islasonazis? IT ISN'T! They're better at it than you would be. You would make it EASIER for them to kill you! Clean out the cities and who would there be to guard the ports,both for air and water?
You and everyone else packs up and takes off for parts unknown and what happens when your pot springs a leak or three, you've broken something you need, and due to terrible weather, you have NOTHING at all to eat?
Are you married, do you have any children, and are family members alive?
She is associated with Code Pink .. the same group that is supporting the terrorists in Iraq
The terrorists that killed her son and other brave soldiers fighting to defend freedom
My heart goes to all the parents that have lost a child in this war
But this women is sick IMO and seriously needs to seek help
You're pathetic.
Neo = new.
Con = conservative.
NeoCon = new conservative.
That's the technical meaning. The underlying meaning is that we're all a bunch of right wing whackos, who place too high a value on life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, independence, God, truth, justice, and the American way.
You don't know anything at all, but keep pounding away on that keyboard, as though you did. Your abject lack of knowledge is quite appalling!

'A woman who owns property across the road from where the group is camping began putting up no trespassing signs with law enforcement offficals nearby,' said Jawad.
So it's a local property owner and not the President's security team, huh??
Gee .. the MSM FAILS to mention that part
