The media/right wing take (same thing, really), is that this is an OLD policy that pre-dates Bush. They even use words like "Clinton-era policy." That is not the case -- Clinton WAS photographed with returning coffins of slain soldiers. In fact, mediawhoresonline.com has some links to poignant images right now.
I know Helen Thomas is a gem, and I'm not criticizing her here -- just want to issue a reminder that this is one of those issues that the Repukes will try to blur, like Enron -- "BOTH parties took money!" It's important to place the blame for the lack of images of slain soldiers right where it belongs - the Bush White House.
