From Slate (http://slate.msn.com/id/2099401/) we have:

Despite being embargoed by the Pentagon, tragically majestic images of U.S. soldiers' flag-draped coffins grace the front pages of the WP, LAT, and NYT—the result of a FOIA request from thememoryhole.org (http://www.thememoryhole.org/), a site dedicated to "rescuing knowledge, freeing information." According to stories the LAT fronts and the NYT and WP run inside, the site's request was initially turned down, but then approved on appeal in what the Pentagon termed a mistake. According to the NYT, only one TV news channel chose not to run the images: Fox.

Hum,
It was those kinds of images that turned public opinion about the `nam war...

i also noticed that the department of defense use the wrong pictures , when they showed the returning coffins from Iraq...
They used images of the Columbia crew remains arriving at Dover airforce base on 5 February 2003.
(well, the first photos)

Question is: what will become of Iraq when the US decides to withdraw their troops? Will the UN jump in or does it not want to burn it's fingers on it?

We're not going to, nor should we. We have a responsibility to defend the new government, and I don't think the UN would be capable of doing so.

it wasn't the DOD that mistakenly used them, it was the media who identified them as war deaths.

@T_Bone

Yep, [i just checked out the DOD mainframe],

Tnx for the correction.

'Government'?

Which new government?

:-?

Ahmed Chalabi? :lol:

And this surprises someone? Fox is the New Republican government's mouthpiece. Of course they aren't going to show anything that can cause a negative reaction to the Shrubbery administration.

@Glaucus

If you live in Canada, surely you have other news shows to watch. If that's the case this shouldn't be a problem for you. :-)
