No Harry, It doesn't remind me of anything.
Why the hell should we let the media play to our basest interests with
photos of the dead.
We know too many people died.
Collect them and bury them with dignity, otherwise leave them the hell
alone.
Just my initial response to the post.
Maybe with time and thought I might see it differently.

FEMA Blocks Photos of New Orleans Dead

By E&P Staff

Published: September 07, 2005 12:06 PM ET

NEW YORK Forced to defend what some critics consider its slow response to
the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency said on Tuesday it does not want the news media to take
photographs of the dead as they are recovered from New Orleans.

FEMA, which is leading the rescue efforts, rejected requests from
journalists to accompany rescue boats as they went out to search for storm
victims, Reuters reported.

A FEMA spokeswoman told the wire service that space was need on the rescue
boats and assured Reuters that "the recovery of the victims is being
treated with dignity and the utmost respect."

"We have requested that no photographs of the deceased be made by the
media," the spokeswoman told Reuters via e-mail.

If I were a photo editor, I'd tell FEMA, "up yours."
Remind anyone of the Bushcrap Administration's efforts to conceal the body
bags of returning dead from its war against Iraq?

George W. Bush, our hero!

In his finest hour, the Commander In Chief boldly addresses America in her
time of crisis:
Send cash.
