- Yesterday's report on the Chinese cadaver exhibition
next to Arlington National Cemetery and the perception that the Bush administration
displays a "death cult" mentality brought a number of e-mail
responses that are, well, "cult like." The responses to our piece
claimed the cadavers on display are "beautiful" and "extraordinary."
One individual suggested that human bodies dipped in acetone and then pumped
with silicone and encased in plastic is much more celebratory than a bleeding
man nailed to a cross. However, these responses were few in number compared
to those who agree with us that such a carnie and money-making display
next to America's most hallowed cemetery is affront against all things
decent and proper.

- One WMR reader, a former producer for CBS News and NBC
News, suggested that for those who believe human cadavers are somehow artful
should pay a visit to the Holocaust Museum.

- There's a death cult sickness in Washington
that finds corpses and cadavers "artful" and "fulfilling."

- May 9, 2007 -- Plastered all over the Washington Metro
concourses are posters advertising a new exhibition in town, Bodies. Human
cadavers that have been preserved, dissected and skinned, dehydrated with
acetone and then injected with silicone and vacuum sealed in a polymer
encasing are on display across the Potomac River in Rosslyn. The cadavers
are shown in various sports and other poses.
-
- The exhibition is owned by a publicly traded company,
Premier Exhibitions, Inc., the same company that displays recovered relics
from the SS Titanic. The cadavers come from China's Dalian Medical University's
Plastination Laboratories, which has been accused by Chinese human rights
organizations of past connections to the commercial exploitation of the
bodies of executed prisoners. The Chinese lab obtains the bodies from the
Chinese government but there is no information about where the Chinese
government obtains them.
-
- The exhibition of the human cadavers at the site of the
former Newseum in Rosslyn is a stone's throw from Arlington National Cemetery.
A few years ago, this editor wrote that George W. Bush leads a death cult
regime in Washington, DC, a mentality that celebrates death over life,
particularly gruesome death -- whether it is in Iraq, New Orleans, or Greensburg,
Kansas. The presence of a ghoulish display of Chinese cadavers next to
the cemetery where America buries its dead troops from Iraq on an almost
daily basis points to the disgusting and inhuman nature of the Bush administration.
-
- The Washington Metro system receives public funding.
Many members of the public do not appreciate the advertising for such a
macabre exhibition next to one of America's most hallowed cemeteries.
