Arlington National Cemetery media policy to be reviewed

[rainbow4321]

What's next? 100 feet high cement walls around the cemetery so we can further hide those killed by chimp's war crimes?

The secretary of the Army has ordered an internal review of the way Arlington National Cemetery handles media coverage of fallen servicemembers’ funerals, said Army spokesman Paul Boyce.

The move comes after a stinging column in The Washington Post on Thursday about Gina Gray, a spokeswoman at Arlington who claims she was fired after urging more media access to funerals where the families of fallen servicemembers had agreed to let media attend.

She said the families of fallen servicemembers should determine what access the media should have to their loved-ones funerals.

"If a family says they want media coverage, then they should be the ones to determine how close or how far the media can be," Gray said.

1. The Ministry of Propaganda at work......

George Orwell, you bastard, you had to be right about everything!

2. In other words: Those who die in an illegal war must be buried in secrecy

I hope all this idiocy is reversed once Obama is in charge.

The state of secrecy and fear, it is killing the republic.

3. Guess we won't see Ms Gray as a guest on any cable talk shows

The chimp lapdogs won't touch this with a ten foot pole.

Which is too bad because I bet she has some stories she could share about what obstacles/situations she faced....and share some of the names of the higher ups who are refusing to allow coverage (that the families had agreed to).

Wounded Iraq War veteran Gina Gray came back to the United States and got a job with the Army helping with the burial of soldiers at Arlington National Cemetary.
