Mike is right. Bush ordered it to honor/memorialize the victims of the tsunami.

Huh?

 

[FoBoT]

it was a few days ago, and it must be for the disaster, but i don't recall anything in the US code (applicable law) about lowering flags for natural disasters, i guess the Pres. can probably direct it to be done or something

Bush signed a proclamation that Flags fly at half staff for 5 days because of the Tsunami.

No kidding. I mean, pretty soon we'll be lowering our flags for a measly 100,000 deaths.

I highly doubt you could be proven wrong on this instance.
