Lemme see if I've got this right: The first, smaller picture, which shows a flag-draped corpse being removed from Ground Zero, and which ran in Bush's much-maligned re(s)election ad, "Safer, Stronger," is a model of dignity, an appropriate and oh-so-tasteful use of a depiction of our war dead, etc., etc.

Whereas, the next, bigger picture, which was taken BY THE PENTAGON, and cost the picture-smuggler AND her husband BOTH their jobs, is just a tasteless, cruel thing to parade in front of the grieving families (who can't tell which coffin belongs to whom, given that they're all identical and flag-draped).

Now, have I got that right? THANKS, Karl Rove, for pointing out that distinction! And thanks to the Kool Kidz in the 'Murican press, who will sit up and beg for more: "Thank you, sir! May I have another?"
