I don't think it's in poor taste to remind people of the true cost of the freedoms we do enjoy. Whether or not B&N actually donate any of the proceeds of the book sales towards any charities would seem to be a matter of their own choice. In fact by not saying that a percentage will go to (name of charity) they are probably protecting themselves against charges that funds are being misused. I remember after 911 there were some fraudulent schemes where people claimed they were collecting funds for the widows and orphans of those who died and possibly B&N are covering themselves against possible charges that they are doing the same thing by not stating that they will donate a portion of the funds to charities.
