Tigerpaw Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 In general, I think it was wrong to release it against the families wishes. Why even follow the law and ask the families, if you intend to break it?I personally don't have a problem with photographing these events. I believe the President's salute looks off because of timing.The comments below the article make me disgusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Those families requested that there be no media. They didn't wanted the return of their loved ones to be a media fiasco or (as it turned out to be) a photo opportunity to raise points on the polls.

AOW Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 White House photographer(s) are present at EVERY presidential event that the President attends. Mainly for archival purposes, but Huff post should not have published it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOW Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Bill Clinton was normal. What guy hasn't wanted to get a 'hummer at his work desk?Then we tried to impeach him and it was all downhill from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Its not like there's a 'Mission Accomplished' banner in there.If you saw that picture without context, you wouldn't even know what it was for...
