Chilling. On many levels.
From the article:
"If the conflict in Vietnam was notable for open access given to journalists — too much, many critics said, as the war played out nightly in bloody newscasts — the Iraq war may mark an opposite extreme: after five years and more than 4,000 American combat deaths, searches and interviews turned up fewer than a half-dozen graphic photographs of dead American soldiers."
Complex issue (I see respecting the families), but isn't this part of our overall lack of care as a country for what's going on? The fact that the government won't let us see it?
