Last night I heard Oprah saying the war in Afghanistan had very little impact on
her because there was little to remind her it was going on.

That made me wonder...why don't we see the pictures of the dead, their caskets,
etc, like we did when Bush was president.

We used to see their pictures on NBC and other newscasts, and even in the big
papers. Now we see nothing of the sort.

Anyone?

Are you stupid or just lying? Bush was the one who banned photography
of the caskets. Obama rescinded that.

I believe the policy banning of the casket photography was in effect during the
Clinton administration. Bush simply enforced it.

In any case, so what? Why is this liberal president not showing all the caskets?

You believe wrong. It started with Bush I, and Clinton had little use
for it. Bush/Cheney enforced it with vigor. Obama said it was up to
the families, which seems about right.

To put this in perspective, the US has traditionally banned showing
dead GIs. That was abandoned toward the end of Vietnam and reinstated
when we started having dead GIs coming home from Kuwait.
Personally, as long as it is respectful, I have no problem reminding
people of the cost of freedom.

That's not much of a perspective, since "showing dead GIs" isn't
what's being shown. As I said, Bush I banned the showing of the
arriving coffins.


Those whackos who are protesting at the GI funerals should be
"escorted" out by "Rolling Thunder". Bikers have really become pussies
these days it seems.

As distasteful as it is, those wackos apparently have the right to
protest.

Looking at Obama tonight on CNN, sort of ooks like obama just got out of
one. All this war mongering talk. Off to help a minority of violent
rebels armed and killing, while in Beherain a majority is getting
killed. But not as bad as the UN-France Rawanda effort...at least not
yet. The hypocracy. Anyone can see a big power sruggle is going on and
all is not what it seems.

Don't worry, Obama is the next casket populater.

Why not write Fox News and ask them.... you could post their response
here....

Why not write NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN too?

The question had to do with the major media, not Fox. Fox wasn't, as far as I
know, broadcasting pictures of dead soldiers like the major media were.

Why is the major media not doing the same now?

I suppose that's a rough question for a liberal.
