Memo to NewsMax: The photo was never controversial.

Nope. And kudos to President Bush for his thumbs down on Political Correctness!!!

Oh the humanity......a President who actually selects an accurate representation of one of the most heartwrenching, tragic and historically significant atrocities of our time!

Impeached former president clinton probably would have chosen to airbrush chicom uniforms on the firefighters or put himself in the photo.

A conscious effort on the part of our President to depict an historical fact.......any chance this will catch on with the left............NAH.

However, it is true that there has been a policy that living Americans are not portrayed on postage stamps. Whether this is a matter of law or policy I don't know, but I think the purpose of the rule is to prevent politicians and presidents from using the postal service to promote themselves, as is often done in dictatorships. There is obviously no such intent here, but this stamp still might not be allowable under long-standing postal service policy.

Note, too, that those weren't "firefighters," those were firemen.
