Good. One instance of Bush's passion for censorship overturned. That's an assine comment. As a person who's actually lost a family member in Iraq, I don't think it's YOUR or anyone else's business to see pictures of their coffins. You seem to think that respect for the privacy of the families is somehow censoring your right to see coffins. Hmmm, another instance of the "rights" of others superseding someone else's rights. How readily would you allow pictures of dead relative of yours plastered on the nightly news????

If I see a row of coffins, how does anyone but the military itself know its your relative in there? Up until Bush, the military always allowed publication of such photos. You do, of course, have the right to restrict media and photos at his particular funeral.

I'm sorry you lost someone, and we all owe him a debt of gratitude that can't be repaid. I wish I were still doing honor guard so I could have the honor of showing respect in that way for these soldiers.
