Guess CNN et al will have to look elsewhere for sensationalism. Give 'em hell, General!

Excellent decision! Lots of precedences for this.

Leadership PING!

Amen. The media vultures shouldn't be provided with corpses to pick over.

Honore isn't the most articulate guy in the world. At times, he seemed like a dullard, more in tune with the voices in his head than with the questions being directed at him.

None of which means he isn't a great field commander. It's just that some guys aren't made for the spotlight.

The Coast Guard vice admiral is the guy you want for your front man.

...waiting for the MSM to turn on LTG Honor'e any minute now...

Oh, we'll see the press fight for their rights
(to publish photos of the dead)
because after all, it's George Bush's fault!

I wouldn't object to media presence on these missions, as long as there were no cameras. That way nobody can accuse anybody of covering things up and decency is preserved.

But if Lt. Gen. Honore says no media, the only thing you can say to him is, "Yes, sir!" That man doesn't take any guff from anyone.

Judge supports CNN request to cover Katrina's toll

Saturday, September 10, 2005; Posted: 1:33 a.m. EDT (05:33 GMT)


HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- At the request of CNN, a federal judge in Texas Friday night blocked emergency officials in New Orleans from preventing the media from covering the recovery of bodies from Hurricane Katrina.

Attorneys for the network argued that the ban was an unconstitutional prior restraint on news gathering.

This nation doesn't need to watch the MSM showing only pix of blacks, with commentary about how Bush is at fault.

After the Galveston storm of 1900, "Kodak fiends" were treated like looters and summarily shot.

[Eastbound]

To paraphrase an oldy, 'Only the Media walks in where even ghouls fear to tread.'

[TomGuy]

Didn't an appeals court rule against the military on this and allow journalists in?

There was an article yesterday or the day before that said the court ruled against the military's attempt to keep journalists out.

[don-o]

OORAH, General!

[ez]

They santized the airwaves of 9/11 pics just days after the event. Wonder why they are so gung-ho to publicize the corpses of this disaster?

[daybreakcoming]

My Mom saw dead bodies in NO on CNN a couple nights ago - one had been murdered in a horrific way. No faces were shown but she wishes she had not seen this because as she says....you cannot UNsee what you have seen. Told her to quit watching CNN - they will be going for the sensational National Enquirer type coverage.

FRANKLY I AGREE WITH MY DAD VULTURES SHOULD BE SHOT ON SIGHT

[BallyBill]

Maybe the General can confiscate some cameras first and then deliver some street justice and explain common decency to some very ill people.

[drpix]

The rats will take it to court! And why would the leftist media send leftist lawyers to leftist courts for such a ghoulish misuse of "constitutional rights"? As they are all loyal soldiers of democrat party leftists, here's my prediction:

[Mo1]

"We've had total access to everything we've done — the good, the bad and the ugly — but that operation (the recovery of corpses) will be conducted with dignity and respect for the families," the general said.

And what does CNN do??

Takes them to court to get the pictures

CNN repetitively reports on the body Count

Go ahead CNN .. I dare you to air those pictures

Because you will have a backlash from the American public like you've never seen before

Hey CNN .. could ya go any lower??
