FRONT-PAGE NEWS
Hurry, Or You’ll Miss It

On the front page of today’s Philadelphia Inquirer there is a very large photograph of something the Bush administration doesn’t want you to see: twenty flag-draped coffins at Dover Air Force Base.

(Since the Inquirer doesn’t normally publish at its web site the photographs accompanying its news articles, the photo is unlikely to be visible after today.)

[Post-publication addendum (April 23): More information about the unauthorized release of the photographs from Dover may be found in “Pentagon Ban on Pictures of Dead Troops is Broken,” by Bill Carter (New York Times), among many other fine accounts of an “incident” that should have begun occurring regularly a year ago.]
