'''Transfer tubes''' is was incorrectly believed to be the most recent [[propaganda]] term employed by the [[George Walker Bush]] Pentagon to describe the return of soldiers' remains from the [[War in Iraq]].[http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1067728207768&call_pageid=1038394944805&col=1038394]
:"In order to continue to sell an increasingly unpopular Iraqi invasion to the American people, President George W. Bush's administration sweeps the messy parts of war -- the grieving families, the flag-draped coffins, the soldiers who have lost limbs -- into a far corner of the nation's attic."
