New I think it is the motive for the directive at question.
And there is precedent. Seen any photos of flag draped coffins lately?

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

New The problem is that
a moral issue has been turned into political issue and at whose expense? Not the politicians. The survivors. The people who have already been through hell and back.

Other than political, what is the benefit of showing these pictures?

New Nothing. If you don't value truth.
It's EZ for the Red Stater masses to laud the obscenties we commit around the world because they don't see anything around the world. You can't believe how many people in Indiana I've heard say, "It's not that bad down there. The media is just playing this up because they don't like President Bush." I-am-not-joking. I have heard those very words on more than one occasion. Bush supporters have to be hit over the head with a brick repeatedly before they even recognize that they are being hit on the head with a brick. It's easy to support horror if you don't have to look at it.

In a similar vein, by showing the real cost of epic incompetence, perhaps those brainless millions who supported his Moroness will begin to actually *think* about what they are supporting.
