Media allowed to film bodies again.

Ann Scott Tyson, of the Washington Post, writes:

In a CNN-Opinion Research Corp. poll conducted last week, 67 percent of respondents said coverage of the return of remains should be allowed and 31 percent said it should not.

What a relief. For years, I've wanted the public to see what I saw in my tenure as an Air Transportation Journeyman in the Air Force Reserve. But I've also wanted to respect the privacy of service peoples' families. This data tells us that truth is winning over sentiment.

 

The problem begins with the law being repealed in the post-Fox News/MSNBC media world; you know, the one that has more in common with P.T. Barnum than Peter Jennings.
