The Cost of War
The controversial photo gallery spreading like wildfire across the Internet, with pictures of coffins returning from Iraq, can be seen at a mirror site here. They're moving, must be seen, and show nothing but honor among the young--very young--men and women charged with this chilling task. There's no reason why the Pentagon should be so opposed to their release. Unless they would prefer we think of war more like a video game, with no real human cost.

How determined are they to keep photos like these out of the public eye? The woman who took them has been fired. So too, strangely, has her husband.

{UPDATE: This puts this story in an interesting light. The fired photographer and Cheney/Halliburton share an unhappy past.}

{OOPS: Ok, view those photos carefully, since apparently some aren't war dead.}
