And if you are naive enough to think that they want those pictures released for ANYTHING other than anti-American propaganda, you're badly mistaken.

That's the use of them after they're taken. We're talking about the right to publish publically-owned photos and to let photographers capture an important event. Personally, I get a chill up my spine when I see these, and have to stop for a minute to try to grasp the awesome price that soldier just paid for my freedom. I also think that could have been me in Gulf War I.

And you're wrong, it's always been the policy of the US Military to not release photos of the coffins of dead American soldiers.

This was Howard Dean's brother being fainlly brought home from Vietnam, coming off a transport plane (there were three others on this flight too).

Publicly owned?

Militarty personel hae a right to privacy, don't you know?
If Howard Dean wishs to publicize his borther coming home---fine.

Taking those pics is a privlege, not a RIGHT.

Howard Dean's brother was not a soldier if I recall correctly.
