You know whats messed up? The fact that embed rules forbade photographers in Iraq and Afghanistan from publishing photographs of dead soldiers. Thats called censorship. I understand the dignity question, I really do; but we seem perfectly happy to publish photos of dead Palestinians, dead Syrians, dead Iraqis, dead Afghans, dead Haitians, dead Liberians, etc. etc. Dont those people also deserve to have their dignity respected? The Bush administration knew that photos of dead soldiers would show the true cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and shift public opinion. It may be the only lesson they learned from Vietnam.
