Here (try later, when the server load isn't so bad) at the memory hole:

A Web site published dozens of photographs of American war dead arriving at the nation's largest military mortuary, prompting the Pentagon to order an information clampdown Thursday.

The photographs were released last week to First Amendment activist Russ Kick, who had filed a Freedom of Information Act request to receive the images. Air Force officials initially denied the request but decided to release the photos after Kick appealed their decision.

After Kick posted more than 350 photographs on his Web site, the Defense Department barred the further release of the photographs to media outlets.

The Bush regime fired Tami Silicio for one photo—here's 361 (not 350).

The Pentagon cites "privacy concerns" for not showing photos of the coffins that come into Dover Air Force base from Iraq. What, the names are on the coffins? Somehow, I think they have other issues on their minds.

Oh, and here's one of the 361.



Bush lied, soldiers died. Often, what's obscene is not what you show, but what you hide.
