====================

The US Air Force released 361 photographs of the flag-draped coffins of American soldiers to an internet website yesterday, angering the Pentagon.

The photographs - which Department of Defence photographers took at an air force base that doubles as a soldiers' mortuary in Dover, Delaware - were apparently released in error to a website called The Memory Hole.

Media organisations across the US, which are banned from taking similar photographs - quickly picked up the photographs.

===========

ummm....If there were no invasion into Iraq, there would be no flag-draped coffins of American soldiers to take pictures of - then the Air Force would have no pictures to release in error

seems to me the "REAL ERROR" started with invading Iraq
