Obama may lift ban on photographing soldier's coffins

Wrapping up an all Obama day, I found the following snippet of information HIGHLY interesting:

President Barack Obama says his administration is reviewing a policy that bans the media from photographing flag-draped coffins of fallen U.S. soldiers.

The president said Monday his advisers are discussing with the Defense Department the prohibition on pictures of coffins returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Beyond that, Obama wouldn’t say whether he would keep the policy in place. He says he wants to understand all the implications involved before deciding how to proceed.

My humble opinion? Show the world the reality of being a hero. Show the world the respect we provide to our fallen comrades. Show the whole damn world the cost of freedom.
