The U.S. Senate this week defeated a bill that would have required the Pentagon to allow media coverage of America's war dead, as their remains arrive in flag-draped caskets from Iraq. Pennsylvania's Rick Santorum says the ban preserves the privacy of the families. Arizona Republican John McCain voted in favor of permitting news photographers access to homecoming ceremonies at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, saying "Americans ought to know the casualties of war."
