Glenn has alot on the Nightline/Ted Koppel reading of the names of the men and women who've died in Iraq:

Koppel, also in the announcement, acknowledged that Memorial Day might have been "the most logical occasion" to do the program. Ya think?

"But we felt that the impact would actually be greater on a day when the entire nation is not focused on war dead," he said.

Ah yes, and, of course, Memorial Day falls outside the May sweeps, when viewer levels are used by the networks to set advertising rates. Memorial Day is also traditionally a day of very low television viewing. He forgot to mention that stuff.

Sievers and others we spoke with at ABC News insisted they did not realize that the May sweeps start tomorrow.

Emphasis mine. Why would they leave out the names of the soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Oh right, they were fighting in a "multilateral war" that ABC approved of. What a friggin' disgrace.
