Victims of War

Well, those were pictures you were never meant to see (by official Pentagon policy), and it seems that Tami Silicio was fired for her efforts. I guess you have to expect to be let go if you defy a policy as publicly as she did, but nevertheless the episode shows to what lengths US officials will go to prevent the public from understanding the realities of this (or any) war.
