3 This is the leftist Dem's backlash to the HBO film Taking Chance.

Taking Chance was a reenactment. You know, like "I'm not a doctor, but I slept at the Holiday Inn..". The fact the lefties can't tell the difference [they can when they 'reenact' numerous slanderous bits of media theater], says far more about them [it's not about truth, it's about power] than its says anything about Gates. The reality, that the MSM has moved on to other venues and is ignoring the WOT now that Bush is gone, means the need for such political props is minimal, particularly since its now Obama's War and they'll hide anything that detracts from their 'One'. Of course, campus commie parasites will try to use such pictures, but their audience is going to be distracted by other big events [like the life long bondage that Congress has pressed upon them].

4 There was a very good reason this policy was put in place, and it saved the US military all kinds of heartburn. There is no way to photograph the dead, any dead, that makes the US military look good. Even if they were the ones who stopped the killing.

I guess Obama really wants to try and reenact Vietnam. But on his head be it.

5 You don't think they're going to run many of these photos now that it's "Mr. Obamas War", do you?
