Pictures of soldiers coming home in caskets are now allowed if their families do not object. An article on this can be found at the Washington Post. I think this is a change for the better. The only reason pictures were prohibited previously was to prevent more anger from percolating amongst the American public.
Pictures are very powerful. When you see so many soldiers coming home from war zones dead, you can't help but be moved. Here are scores of young lives cut short by war. They could have led long productive lives if it were not for this darn war thing.

That's a nasty looking image. Gives me the creeps.
