Let the living mourn their dead in peace.
That's the message that should be sent to a Kansas church whose members say they plan to set up pickets at a Saturday memorial service in Laurel for Army Sgt. 1st Class Clarence D. McSwain of Meridian, who was killed in Iraq.
Here is what the church posted on its Web site after the bodies of captured U.S. Marines Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Ore., were found earlier this week. Both had been tortured to death and their bodies booby-trapped: "Thank God for the grisly deaths of Privates Thomas Tucker and Kristian Menchaca. They died at the hands of an angry God in His retaliatory wrath in punishing America for her violent persecution of Westboro Baptist Church for preaching the truth to America about her abominations. WBC will picket their funerals."
