Wow, CNN has a flag-draped casket on their main page.

Caption: "Officers carry the casket of Sgt. Michael Uvanni, killed in Iraq, after his funeral Saturday."

How long before the Bush Administration demands that they remove it?

1. Where did they get that photo? Isn't that "a violation of the privacy "

of the dead soldier according to Chimpy and Rumsfailed?

2. The press is prohibited

from publishing photos of the coffins while they are in Government custody. There are no restrictions (other than having the permission of the family, of course) regarding publishing photos of a private funeral. Many of the families of those killed in Iraq have gone out of their way to get press coverage of their loved ones' funerals.
