Haven't seen the photo, but:
"It showed Obama and other officials in silhouette and did not depict caskets." boo-hoo - making a mountain out of a molehill. Didn't show the families, the casket, the plane (in retrospect, a wing), anything like that from the sound of it. ETA  |

Before you say it was politically charged, the photographer was the official photographer for Ronald Reagan too. He's widely respected throughout the profession. |
