Political Vigil's?

Here’s what MoveOn had to say.

Over 1,000 US soldiers have now died in Iraq. Tomorrow night, we’re holding vigils with the Win Without War coalition to honor these soldiers and their families. Host a vigil, or find one in your area.
Tomorrow night at 8pm, we're joining with the Win Without War coalition to hold hundreds of candlelight vigils.

Here’s James Taranto of Best of the Web Today had to say:

MoveOn.org, along with an outfit called Win Without War, is sponsoring a series of "candlelight vigils" tonight to "honor" the servicemen who "have given their lives in service to our country." An e-mail announcing the event, from MoveOn's Peter Schuman, contained this statement: "Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld diminished their deaths by calling the toll 'relatively small.' " Here is what Rumsfeld actually said:
If you take all of those patrols, and look at the number of incidents, they're relatively small. If you look at them from our standpoint, a single loss of life is large, and it's a life that's not going to be lived. I don't know how to calculate it or calibrate it for you any better than that

Man, it seems everything is political in politics these days.
