Thumbs down Military Blocks Photos Of US Dead
The case of a freelance photographer in Iraq who was barred from covering the Marines after he posted photos on the Internet of several of them dead has underscored what some journalists say is a growing effort by the American military to control graphic images from the war.

I tend to think that it is out of respect for the families.

If you were ever in that situation, you wouldn't have made such a b.s. comment.

However true, the reporting in print of dead service men is good enough. We need to know that our troops have been killed. Posting pictures demoralizes the country as well as our service men still in combat and at home. We know they have passed due to their heroic efforts and thats all that needs to be said. I don't give a flying flip about the presses freedom. Some things are sacred and first and foremost the families of the dead should not have to see their loved ones laid out for all to see.
