SIX FEET UNDER: Eight Miles High

The front page of Sunday’s Seattle Times featured a photo of coffins containing bodies of US soldiers being secured inside a cargo plane at Kuwait International Airport. Tami Silicio, a contractor who took the photo, was subsequently fired from her job.


Here‘s a simple litmus test: papers that run this photo on the front page are good. All others ought to be ashamed. Story continues with ST’s Air Force followup here.

Can’t tell if the WPost had any coffins on its front page, but the story it ran did have a link to The Memory Hole, the site that ran pix in the first place (naturally, experiencing traffic clogs from all this).
