Editorial: Senate moves to bar killers from military funerals
The editorial applauds a new bill backed by Kansas senators to bar Dennis Rader and similar killers from national cemeteries or military funeral honors.

The piece condemns Rader’s crimes and argues such individuals desecrate the honor due to true service members.
