Pentagon Ban on Pictures of Dead Troops Is Broken (NYTimes)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

Interesting choice of words for the headline here- different than the other story on this here on LBN

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/23/national/23PHOT.html?pagewanted=print&position=

and this editorial ROCKS!!!

"....it seems far more likely that the Pentagon is concerned about the impact that photos of large numbers of flag-draped coffins may have on the American public's attitude toward the war.

That certainly underestimates the fortitude of average citizens, who are able to accept the cost of war whenever they are confident that the cause is right. American men and women are currently suffering danger, death and injury every day in Iraq. The least those of us back home can do is to bear witness to the sacrifice of the real soldiers as well as the fictional.

Times editorial - The Real War

Let us bear witness!
