Censorship of Flag-Draped Caskets Over

Obama has made another swift and decisive move to return America to the free country it used to be.
Media images of flag-draped caskets carrying dead soldiers from Iraq and Afganistan have been banned for five years. Today, in keeping with the Obama policy of truthfulness, the censorship ended.
Photos of caskets of fallen soldiers document the starkest reality of war: people die. You can't whitewash it, though the Bush administration tried.
The elder Bush banned these images to keep the war an abstraction to as much of the public as possible. Casket images in the Vietnam era started much of the anti-war sentiment that grew out of the government's control. Some families of fallen soldiers defend the ban, citing their right to privacy. If the caskets were open, perhaps they would have a case. Families of victims should get empathy and support, not the right to make policy.
Censorship is wrong, wrong, wrong.
