In honor of Sean Dulin who is completely opposed to the showing of coffins during a war. Thanks to David Moe for the find.

I do feel we need to respect the privacy of individuals by not showing their dead body attached with their name, however a nameless coffin is not invading anyone's privacy. My primary concern is that while everynight on television we're bombarbed with the positive images coming back from Iraq, however we fail to truly grasp the number of deaths we're taking on. The censorship of the coffin images is a slap in the face of the American people, if you're going to censor one thing just censor the whole war (and yes I'm sure they already do, but for intelligence purposes). I feel it is the right of the American people to have access to non-classified images regarding the war. Showing a coffin with a flag over it is not invading on anyone's privacy and has no need to be restricted other than the political agendas of those in charge (Bush and the gang). It's amazing to note how hearing "300 dead" and an image of 300 coffins lined up is incredibly different.
