The Dover Air Force Base mortuary for years disposed of portions of troops' remains by cremating them and dumping the ashes in a Virginia landfill, a practice that officials have since abandoned in favor of burial at sea.

The Dover, Del., mortuary, the main point of entry for the nation's war dead and the target of federal investigations of alleged mishandling of remains, engaged in the practice from 2003 to 2008, according to Air Force officials. The manner of disposal was not disclosed to relatives of fallen service members.

Doug Lamborn and Mike Coffman supported the Bush Administration and their incompetent and malicious war policies almost every chance they got. They should be held accountable for this failure.

And any time a Republican says he supports the troops we should make them prove it with deeds, not the empty words of a cheap politician.
