The New York Times > Washington > Times on the Trail > Political Points | 4.30 3 PM: McCain Calls Nightline Nix 'Deeply Offensive'

This is a tough one. On one hand, every generation needs to understand the painful costs of war. On the other hand, there are some who will use the lives lost and the pain experienced by their loved ones for political advantage.

I don't know Koppel's politics or the motivations of the leaders of ABC Nightline, but we probably should know, since Sinclair, a major station owner, self-admittedly conservative, is moved to take this strong action.
