If I hear Bush II or any of his cronies talk about the "privacy" rights of the families of deceased soldiers as the reason for blocking public view of already taken photographs (see Memory Hole)*, I'm going to scream. Loudly. And if I hear that, followed almost immediately by a news report about Bush II and his pro-life agenda, a Constitutional ban on gay couple's marrying or the motherlode of all privacy invaders, the Patriot Act, at every opportunity, I'm going to scream until...well, I'm not quite sure what will get me to stop.
Just to recap, the regime that is responsible for invading the privacy of millions is outraged and censoring photos of coffins out of respect for victims' family privacy. Yeah, right. There's a bridge in Brooklyn I can get you a real good deal on if you're buying that one.
