Interesting to note that the lady getting paid for the pics has previously sued Haliburton and Cheney. But I'm sure no political agenda was intended.

This is apparently a two way political agenda. Suppressing info or photos from coming to the public's attention by a government is most certainly a political decision also. In my opinion, a far more heinous situation.

Government control of information that is not a risk to our national security is downright scary, indefensible, and should be actionable in court.

Tami Silicio's two lawsuits named Cheney because he was CEO of Halliburton, corporate parent of Brown and Root, her employer.

The first claimed it was discriminatory for Brown and Root to maintain 'separate but equal' bathrooms for host country nationals and Americans. The second was an EEOC sexual harassment suit which resulted from being fired for reporting sexual slurs and propositions received from co-workers.

I think Ms. Silicio is certainly principled. She is perhaps overly litigious as well. And her claim of having taken the pictures only to reassure the families of servicemen is difficult to take at face value. But I think it much more likely she released the photos because she thought the policy was wrong than because Cheney happened to be CEO of her ex-employer's parent company.
