I don't agree with that based on what CNN, FOX, CBS, and countless number of 
newspaper and radio stations have reported. The United States Government 
took the pictures of the bodies and sent them to all the major news 
organizations.

It was also military personnel that did the restructuring of the bodies. I 
think it would have been difficult for the media to take pictures and 
publish them if they were locked away in a military base and the pictures 
sealed as well. I don't think it would that easy to publish the pictures 
anyway considering that the data could be classified and any media that 
published them could be prosecuted.

My major disagreement with the published photos was that we now make 
ourselves vulnerable to the idea of any future military conflict we have 
when the body of an American Soldier is captured by enemy forces can and 
will publish photos of them and send them to people in the United States.

I also find it extremely ironic that the same political party that fights to 
limit and abolish fake violence and blood from children then shows the same 
thing for real is a country that has over 12 million children. Can anyone 
explain this?

Thanks!
