Pentagon Angered by Soldier Coffin Photos

- headline on an April 23 AP story about the publication of photographs of flag-draped coffins being returned to the US from Iraq

The Pentagon's argument is that even though no remains were shown, the pictures are a violation of the privacy of the families.

And here you were, thinking that the Bush administration had no concern for privacy. Shame on you.

Footnote: The photos are found here at The Memory Hole, but right now the site is difficult to access; probably overwhelmed by traffic.
