Pentagon to Allow Photos of Soldiers’ Coffins
By ELISABETH BUMILLER
WASHINGTON — In a reversal of an 18-year-old military policy that critics said was hiding the ultimate cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the news media will now be allowed to photograph the coffins of America’s war dead as their bodies are returned to the United States, but only if the families of the dead agree.
This is that one photograph. The one you saw whenever the topic was mentioned. No more.

I don’t like this. I’m much happier when reality is shielded from me.
They can do this now because the casualty rate has dropped considerably since all them Sunnis were ethnically cleansed during the last surge.
