I sincerely doubt that the "no pictures of coffins" policy relates to concerns about our honored war dead at all. The policy was instituted because the coffin pictures were stirring up opposition to the war and could be used in negative ways per Government spokesmen. The arguments about preventing invasions of privacy whether the family wants that or not arose later as many justifications after the fact in the Bush years. This is a Bush policy, it was not in effect prior to this administration. I feel we are better off to see and remember. OTH, I have never been a big fan of showing photos of people in raw death, precoffins and such.

I never really formed an image as to wht "miffed" actually looks like. But when -Jrabbit said he was unmiffed, an image of him unrolling from being in a tiny rabbit fur ball to a standup jack came unbidden to my mind.
