Results of yesterday's 24 hour Survey: Should President Bush prohibit
media coverage of returning casualties?

TOPIC/HISTORY: For generations the American public has honored its war
dead upon arrival back in the United States. Recently, President Bush
has declared that public viewing and media coverage of America's war
dead prior to their bodies being turned over to their families is
disrespectful to the dead and to their families. Critics of Mr. Bush
have called his decision an attempt to prevent the American public
from seeing the cost of the war in Iraq since his announcement on May
1st, 2003 that major hostilities had ended.

QUESTION 1/2: Do you agree or disagree with president Bush's decision
to prevent media coverage of America's returning casualties?

Agree... 1.7%
Disagree... 98.3%

QUESTION 2/2: Did you serve in the miiltary?

Yes... 57.2%
No... 42.8%
