Military Mom Invites Media To View Son's Flag-Draped Coffin
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The mother of a soldier killed in Iraq summoned news outlets to photograph her son's flag-draped casket arriving at Sacramento International Airport to protest a Pentagon policy banning media coverage of America's war dead.

Nearly a dozen reporters, photographers and television crews watched as the coffin of Army Sgt. Patrick McCaffrey, 34, was transferred to a hearse outside an airport cargo terminal shortly before midnight Sunday, officials said.

2. Our heartfelt condolences to this brave and honest woman
And our thanks for her courage and spirit.

She just called the junta out. I'm betting they don't take the challenge.
