According to a story on the AP wire, the families of slain soldiers will have the final say in deciding if pictures will be allowed when the bodies are brought back to the United States. Overturning a ruling put in place by George H.W. Bush im 1991, the Obama administration will allow photographers to be present when the flag-draped coffins return to the U.S., however the administration's decision will leave the decision up to the soldier's family members. The decision was supported by the Pentagon. However, 64% of military families oppose this decision. The whole story can be found at CNN.com.
