I don't think Walter Reed is an appropriate place for these protests.

However, do note that the Administration and its supporters are willing to use war casualties to make their point as well. For example, President Bush's recent speech:

We have lost 1,864 members of our armed forces in Operation Iraqi Freedom and 223 in Operation Enduring Freedom . . . Each of these men and women left grieving families and loved ones back home . . . We owe them something. We will finish the task that they gave their lives for."

Here Bush is saying "if you don't support me and my conduct of the war, you are unpatriotic and dishonor the war dead". I don't find that a very appealing act either.
