SEATTLE -- The photograph on the front page of Sunday's Seattle Times captured a moment rarely seen publicly since the start of the Iraq war. Coffins holding dead American soldiers, draped with U.S. flags and placed in rows, nearly filled a cargo plane for the journey home to the United States.

I agree with you. I believe she took took the pictures for political purposes. It's a similar argument to Koppel's disgraceful show last week (didn't watch but read about it). These people are exploiting our brave soldier's deaths for their own personal or professional gain. Pure and simple. That's a good point about taking the pictures once released by the military.

In time of war when our soldier's lives are on the line (not OUR lives, theirs), we should do everything in our power to protect them. Feeding the propaganda war is the wrong thing to do.
