New Era

As I was reading the NYTimes today, I was startled (as all journalists should be) to see a picture of the flag draped coffins of soldiers on a plane returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. It is terribly sad that all these young men and women are dying for something that, in my opinion, is a waste of time, but as a journalist I feel a change coming upon us. Journalists were banned from taking pictures of coffins since the Bush-1 presidency, although regulations became a lot more strict during Bush -2, but now we are free to do what it is our duty to do as journalists- tell the whole story- the good, the bad and the ugly.

The times, as the saying goes, they are a changing :) finally
