TThis is an awful rule, but it is not a Bush rule. It preceded his administration. If I recall correctly it was a Clinton rule.

There is no way a photo of a row of coffins violates anyone’s privacy. What it did for me was two things: It made me so sad for the loss of so many young lives and so proud of those wonderful young men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

I think Bush should immediately repeal this rule that makes it look like we are not proud of our war dead. And I think he will not. One of the freedoms these soldiers fought for was freedom of the press. How ironic.
