Pentagon to Allow Some Media Coverage of Flag Draped Coffins
According to a 'Breaking' banner report, at the top of the MSNBC News site this is just out from the AP!!
I've done a quick search, and boy do I not like the AP site, looking for anything else on this but can't find a thing. Except a few of the recent articles and discussions.
I'll look around for some more information and post it.
A link came up three minutes, now slightly more, ago:
Pentagon to allow photos of returning war victims' caskets
Defense and congressional officials say news organizations will be allowed to photograph the homecomings of America’s war dead under a new Pentagon policy.
According to this brief announcement it says that Gates will be announcing the policy change later today!!

On This Important Issue
As part of one reply to a post I placed a few days ago:
This is always how it should be. We, myself 'Nam '70-'71, serve the Country and Constitution, a solemn viewing, In Honor, should be the Nations right when the Fallen Arrive at Dover, the rest is the Family and Community.
We have Arrival Ceremonies for those groups returning, and we readily show, even National, the Heartwarming Surprise returns to children's classrooms etc..
The Fallen Deserve To Be Treated In The Same Respect!!
