Misdirection

From The Beaufort Gazette:

"We've had 4,000 soldiers killed in Iraq as of last week. Since the start of the Iraq war, we've had 30,000 American children commit suicide, get murdered or die from child abuse. Yet you haven't heard a word out of Washington."
-- Michael Petit, founder of Every Kid Matters, a Washington advocacy group

I am glad to see that someone is paying attention.
