Press Allowed To Cover Return of Dead Soldiers

April 8, 2009 | ISSUE 45•15

For the first time in nearly 20 years, the media was permitted to witness a casket containing the body of a dead soldier arrive on U.S. soil. What do you think?

Does this mean the press will be able to see alive soldiers returning to America sometime soon?

Well, I guess this makes pictures of the unemployed slightly less depressing.

I’m glad they’re doing it, but it’s a shame that the question-and-answer part didn't go so hot.
