They are using the names of people who work for the government in a way that is not slanderous. How is it a stretch? If they were using the names on a war-supporting monument, would you consider that a stretch, too?

and now you will tell me I suppose that their names being published in a hometown newspaper rises to such, I believe not....and in the end, I think it in horribly bad taste....

I view it as disrespectful, too. But we have to protect the most vile of free speech if we want all free speech to continue. The proper place for the law to protect the families in this case is in the civil courts. I hope the families have good attorneys.
Unfortunately, we can't legislate respect.
