This segment was started while David Bohrman was Executive Producer. This is from a transcript November 25, 2004 after there was a change in Ex. Prod. but the segment continued as a form of respect of the soldier regardless the legitimacy of the war. The 'viewer' e-mail maybe fictious but that is irrelevant to the fact this commitment was important.
BROWN: We received an e-mail from a viewer recently about the names we show on the program every night, the names of men and women, young and not so young, who die each and every day in Iraq.
"When I hear the music," she writes, "my eyes fill with tears but I try to stop everything. I look at their names. I try to hold each one in my mind to honor each one for a moment. It's painful," she wrote, "but it makes me more honest."
Those are the names, the hundreds of names by now, that we tend to focus on the most but for every one there are many, many more, thousands more who have been wounded in the war.
THE SEGMENT is frequently omitted from programming and when shown only lists two names to reduce the impact of the reality of death in Iraq.

The Bigotry of NewsNight
9:51 PM - Aaron Brown's pre-program announcement is done by recording. Aaron still is limited to his exposure to his audience. His expertise is unappreciated and so is his audience who demands it.
At 10;21 PM the programmers have primarily taped segments to CONTROL the message and exploit a crash in Toronto to bring up 911 through the roll of a stewardess who saved lives yesterday. This only goes to prove the 'religion' of 'CNN's NewsNight' is a bogus roll, a marketing tool, to control the message to an audience of The Culture of Fear of Bush.
The entire hatred of religious diversity begins with the FACT this program USES Evangelical Christianity as a making tool to a 'Culture of Fear' that is SUPPOSED to lead to 'The Party' preference that exploits this country and it's resources for personal gain of those that 'have' continue to 'have' at the expense of interanational relationships and stability, while the populous are innoculated with religion into passivility and obedience. Evangelical Christianity, the opiate of the people, literally.
Proof: Below is an emotional accounting of the events of a downing (It wasn't a crash) of an Airbus in Toronto. The accounting is converted from FACT to emotional stress to Evangelical content and then carried into the 'FEAR' scenario of 911. Imagine that. It would seem very event in life that carries trauma is somehow converted into a 911 scenario.
BROWN: Talk to you later.Good evening again, everyone.As you can imagine, we still have very little idea why an Air France jumbo jet skidded through and off a runway in Toronto yesterday. We know that there was bad weather in the area, very bad. We know the black boxes have been recovered. Those are the hard facts.Much of the rest are soft facts, memories and impressions, often vivid and frightening. We begin tonight with the last five minutes of that flight.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
BROWN (voice-over): The final five minutes, Flight 358 was already late because of bad weather. Inside the cabin, passengers were not worried. Not yet.
... BROWN: There are 309 survivor stories. And each one adds a few facts to the overall picture. Beyond the 309, there are also family members who watched that plane burn and assumed, as we all did, the worst. Phil Lecaille, his wife and two of his four children were on the plane. His oldest daughter was in Buffalo, New York, watching on TV. We spoke earlier to Audrey, her father and here sister, Emily, who was also on board.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
BROWN: Phil, you're an experienced traveler. You're coming in for the landing. What are you seeing out of the window?
WITH PHL BEING AN EXPERIENCED TRAVELER HE KNOWS BEYOND KNOWLEDGE OF ANY OTHER POTENTIAL PASSENGER WHAT HAPPENED HERE. THERE IS NO DEFINITON OF EXPERIENCED AND FOR ALL WE KNOW THIS WAS HIS SECOND FLIGHT IN THIS LIFE.
PHIL LECAILLE, PASSENGER: Well, under the window, we're in a severe storm. Surrounded by lightning. The plane is shaking. Dropping in altitude. From time to time. And the -- well, very, very dense clouds, basically. That's what we've seen.
BROWN: You hit the runway. You touch down. And are you aware -- do you hear the brakes being applied? Are you aware that this is not -- this is not the way it's supposed to be?
P. LECAILLE: We felt the plane was hydroplaning. It was gliding, basically, on the sheet of water, pouring by the airport. And all of a sudden, we knew we were off-track. We hit the grass or the fence. The plane actually probably lost a front wheel. And we could feel the front of the plane bobbing up and down, as the plane was progressing towards highway 401, which is like the key highway in Toronto. We hit the second fence then. And at that time, actually, flames started to catch fire on the right engine where my daughter, Emily, was sitting.
BROWN: Let me stop you at that point for a second. Let me turn to Emily for a second.
The young women are added for exploitive familial emotional content.
BROWN: Phil, do you remember where you sat?
P. LECAILLE: Absolutely. My first thought was that if we had to die, we have to die together. So I wanted to get Emily together with us. And when we saw that it wasn't blowing up, which I expected, I told them, "Just leave everything. Just run. Run, run, run. Run for the exit." So we basically -- I don't know. I think I pushed them, probably. And we ended up in front of the exit door, which just opened at that time. And they were actually the first guys out of the plane, out of the back chute.
BROWN: Let me leave that there and turn to Audrey for a second.
... BROWN: Phil, have you thought about -- I can't imagine that you haven't. Obviously the close calls in life don't get any closer than this. Have you thought about why y'all -- why everyone made it out? Why you made it out? Why your kids made it out? Why it all ended well?
P. LECAILLE: I appreciate the question, Aaron, because I've been asking myself the question since last night. And clearly, I know it sounds like a cliche, but it was a sheer miracle that we all got out without any injury, like serious injury. It appeared to me and to a lot of people around us, that we were protected. Somehow, you know? And I don't know how. But if you believe in God, it's time to thank God for this miracle. I never heard of a plane crash with nobody dying or, you know, nobody being seriously injured. And none of us -- of course, we escaped and we ran like crazy. But we were physically intact. So, I don't know why. I don't know why, but I can tell you, we are protected somehow.
BROWN: By a miracle. It works for me.
It works for me.
It works for me.
It works for me.
I BET IT DOES. Is that not one of the most scripted Evangelical moments ever. Not at any time is there identity of this 'witness' to his 'miracle.' It must be very comforting to realize god is taking care of airline flights these days.
The entire presenation turns into an exploitation of facts and emergency to return the identity to the events of 911.
Beth Nissan consents to create this 'tour' of stewardess evolution in air flight. It has absolutely no relevance, except a pay check, to the content of the program . It distorts the subject enough to go anywhere with it and indeed it does. It leaves Toronto right back in time to 911. The segment ends with the World Trade Towers burning and still standing.
BROWN: Frank Hurlehey, with EMS in Toronto.
As soon as we learned yesterday that everyone had survived the crash, had somehow had gotten off that plane without serious injury, our question was how. And the heroes became the flight attendants. Evacuating 309 people from a burning jet in two minutes is what they are trained to do. In the new normal, being a flight attendant has taken on new meaning, new duties. It did not begin that way. Here's NEWSNIGHT'S Beth Nissen.
Is NEWSNIGHT the only place where Nissan functions?
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
BETH NISSEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Early air travel was not all that comfortable, not all that safe. The first airline stewardesses in the 1930s were registered nurses, on board to make passengers feel more secure, to nurse them through the experience.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It seemed to me men, at that time, were very afraid to fly. We had all of the wherewithal. They alerted me when they were faint. There need oxygen.
NISSEN: but the late 1930s, there were more than 200 nurses working for the new airline industry. Then came World War II. Experienced nurses were needed at the front, served on early medevac flights. In the booming post-war period, when commercial flying really took off, stewardesses no longer had to have nursing skills. What was more important was a fresh face, a slim figure and a draw to globe circling adventure and glamor. Air travel was mostly reserved for the famous and the rich. By the early 1950s, stewardesses numbered in the thousands.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's a wonderful feeling you get as you board your plane. A warm welcome for everyone from the pretty girl in the trim uniform.
NISSEN: Air fares were controlled so airlines used stewardesses as marketing tools. Stewardesses were schooled in the airplane function and safety. But also keeping the seams of their hose straight, their heels polished and comportment.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Poise and sense of balance are acquired through rhythmic exercise. Nothing is more disconcerting to the passenger than a lurching air hostess who tumbles in one's lap.
NISSEN: Rules were strict. Stewardesses could not be married, and they were forced to retire at 32. Then, the airline industry swung into the '60s. They wore short skirts and carried a brief message -- the skies were sexy.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She'll slip into something a little more comfortable.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm Mary Beth, fly me to Miami.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm Maggie, fly me to New York.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Whether it's me or Kathy or Cheryl, we're going to fly you like you've never been flown before.
NISSEN: But things slowly changed as progress was made in civil rights, women's rights. In the 1970s, stewardesses were joined by stewards, and both started to be called flight attendants. With the deregulation of the airlines, businesses added thousands of flights, millions of passengers. Flight attendants became part traffic cop, part fast food worker, part safety officer.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They seem upset (ph).
(UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE) Nobody knows
(UNINTELLIGIBLE) because nobody can breathe. We can't get to the cockpit. The door won't open.NISSEN: The role of flight attendant in airplane safety became clear since September 11th. Since then, they are trained in everything from cockpit security to in-flight arrests.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Don't take anything with you. You, you, get in line
(UNINTELLIGIBLE)NISSEN: Industry safety officials say the actions of the Air France flight crew in Toronto, show what professional flight attendants have become. Not just service staff at 30,000 feet. But the flying public's first and best line of defense. Beth Nissen, CNN, New York.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
BROWN: In a moment, another space spectacular.
THESE are clearly calculated events to AFFECT the audience creating a venue for Bush's Culture of Fear. This is government television even if by voluntary cooperation. It is askewed with 'video editing' a primary tool to deliver the desired EFFECT. A message EXCLUSIVE to Christianity.
