One quotes policy, the other quotes what he saw. Having served on the honor guard at a few military funerals myself, I can say that never once did I see anything other than proper caskets. I couldn't tell you what they were made of, except they weren't cardboard boxes.
The point is Sheehan is lying.
>I looked over the entire site, and I found nothing that was remotely centrist. Everything on the site is aimed directly at supporting the current U.S. administration and vilifying the left. Is this what passes for even-handed reporting these days?
The site is an attempt to prove the unevenness of reporting by highlighting how blatanly leftist most main-stream media outlets are. Who said anything about centrist? Oh, and by the way, did you notice its run by an Englishman?
