Hmmmm...interesting question. Even distasteful speech is protected by the constitution, and I feel he has the right to sell these shirts. The names of the fallen are public record, so it is not an invasion of anyone's privacy.

On a personal note: a former co-worker of mine died early in the war. The nicest young man too--always had a smile on his face and was kind to everybody. That was a very sad day for us when we found out. A close friend has two sons that have and are serving in Iraq. The older came home from his first rotation shortly after being hit (but thankfully not killed) by an IED. The younger is still there and recently saw a truckload of his buddies get blown to bits and they were unable to help in any way. No matter which side of the fence you are on that place is a horrible mess right now.

The fact of the matter is that our government did lie to us and sadly, many have died. He has the right to sell these shirts. This is America. Just because we don't like what someone says doesn't mean they can't say it. I wouldn't buy one of those shirts myself--not because I disagree with him, but out of sensitivity for my friend with sons in the military and for others. And if I were to buy one (which I won't) I'd probably put it next to my flag with the big yellow ribbon. That would echo my TRUE feelings about the war: That our governmnet lied to us to get us there, but that I support the troops and love my country--even if I do despise the current executive leadership.

But again that isn't going to happen. I have no plans of buying one of those shirts.
