Fired over a photo

Tami Silicio, the woman who took the photo of the flag-drpaed coffins has been fired by the defense contractor she worked for for breakign company and Pentagon rules. So has her husband.

Once the source of the photo became known, it was inevitable that she would lose her job and possible face other consequences. What seems unbelievable is that she seems to not have recognized that in advance.

Still, the policy itself is asinine, as I've said before. We need visual representations of the impact of our governmental policy in Iraq. This unfortunately includes the deaths of soldiers and civilians, both American and Iraqi, in the war-zone.
