secondly, if you're going to degrade Bush by hiding the physical remains of US casualties... you must also take issue with the first President Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Johnson, JFK, Eisenhower, FDR etc... it has always been US policy to restrict media images of U.S. dead. in fact, the rules used to be much stricter than they are now. i think the discussion should be aimed at the historical policy of the US government, not just another hackneyed stab at the Bush administration.
