WASHINGTON POST, REUTERS, CNN, AP RUN PHOTOS OF SPACE SHUTTLE COFFINS -- AS IRAQ WAR DEAD... AFTER INTERNET MIX-UP: Russ Kick of thememoryhole.org filed a Freedom of Information Act requesting 'all photographs showing caskets (or other devices) containing the remains of US military personnel at Dover AFB. This would include, but not be limited to, caskets arriving, caskets departing, and any funerary rites/rituals being performed. The timeframe for these photos is from 01 February 2003 to the present.'
But Kick appears to have assumed all the photos given to him were of the WAR ON TERROR/IRAQ dead!
On Thursday NASA claimed dozens of photos featured in Kick's war dead -- were photos of Space Shuttle Columbia's crew! The shuttle blew up on 2/1/03.
'An initial review of the images featured on the Internet site www.thememoryhole.org shows that more

rendered to Columbia's seven astronauts,' NASA said.
CNN aired space shuttle coffins as Iraq dead from thememoryhole.org. It is not clear if other media outlets are currently featuring space shuttle coffins in their rotations... Developing...
