HELP me with this idea: If CNN won the court case about Katrina photos;
can't they go back and win a case about showing footage of soldier's coffins coming back from Iraq on the Katrina court decision?

1. there is precedent about the photos of cofins
and it surprised me back then that none of the MSM used that in court...I think the only reason CNN did it this time is rating..sorry, but that is how cynical I have become with MSM.

3. OH; you are right; but I keep hoping
that if we point this out to them maybe just maybe they would take notice. In other words:
"Look what ELSE the gov't didn't want you to see! CNN has EXCLUSIVE photos that were hidden from the public until now! Tune in tomorroww...."
You get the idea.

6. yes, i do..but it would probably work if the families of the dead
soldiers push for that as they protest to the war.

2. Well, yes,
The first amendment gives the press pretty strong protections to print what they have--what it doesn't do is give them access to get the pictures in the first place.

4. You don't think ANYONE has photos?
I don't know, honest question there. I would think there are some somewhere; and more can be made (since unfortunatley more are DYING EVERY DAY arg.)

7. Then why aren't we SEEING any photos?
I don't watch alot of Cable news, but I watch a bit of it every morning, and what I'm seeing is either devastation of property, older pictures of victims or pictures about restoration. Am I misinformed?
