Take a Moment for Death

William Rivers Pitt writes: "This is the 'surge' you've heard about, three months along now, and that smothering euphemism is brutally appropriate. Critics tried to label this newest fiasco an 'escalation' in the media when it began, so the truth of it wouldn't be buried under kinder, gentler, politically soothing terminology. Yet "surge" is the word, and the lethality of it all is only lost when we fail to take a moment to encompass it."
