Has your paper published the coffin photos?

Mine, no. (Greensboro, NC)

Also wrote Chris Kelly and provided him w/ the link to all those photos.

but here's the kicker, seeing as the picture has become such a huge story, yesterday I saw the paper and it had a story on the story and they re-published the photo!
Thought that was an interesting.

Don't know about the Herald, I don't know if they were able to get through to Rove so he could authorize it or not (damn right-wing rag).

The middle class and the lower middle class are sick of paying the butcher bill for this administration - in silence.

about these things.

Front page.

Images of U.S. soldiers' coffins released

" After Kick posted more than 350 photographs (alternate site) on his website, the Defence Department barred the further release of the photographs to news outlets."

The second article slams the US for orchestrating the firing of the photographer that got this ball "rolling" so to speak.


U.S. sanitizes stain of death

"WASHINGTON—As a mother who had lost a son to a brain tumour, Tami Silicio wanted mothers who had lost sons and daughters in Iraq to know the remains of their loved ones were being treated with respect and dignity.

So she took a photo of rows of flag-draped coffins being loaded on to a cargo plane in Kuwait awaiting return to the U.S. and had a friend deliver it to her hometown newspaper, which put it on the front page.

And then she was fired.

/snip/

The company has acknowledged it fired the 50-year-old Edmonds, Wash., woman after pressure from the Pentagon. It praised the work done by her and her husband.

Despicable that Pentagon and the people in it!

I was pretty surprised. This is the stuff they usually put as a "Washington Briefs" one paragraph story on page 999 or whatever.

But no mention about the conrtacto getting fired for taking them

don't think it was a local publisher.

Totally ignored. And this is the paper all the local freepers refer to as the liberal media.

Go figure.
