Actually, the complaint isn't that Bush used the images of caskets. It's that he used these images after prohibiting similar images of G.I. war dead from being displayed on TV, to keep from upsetting soldier families.
I don't know what their beef is. Liberals have been claiming for months that there's no relationship between the 9/11 attacks and the war against Saddam. Now here they are making one! Isn't that hypocrisy?

The policy of not televising caskets returning to Dover pre-dates the Iraq war. It is out of respect for the privacy of the families - something the media would instantly trample if they could.
