Federal Emergency Image Management Agency
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - When U.S. officials asked the media not to take pictures of those killed by Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, they were censoring a key part of the disaster story, free speech watchdogs said on Wednesday.
The move by the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in line with the Bush administration's ban on images of flag-draped U.S. military coffins returning from the
Iraq war, media monitors said in separate telephone interviews.
The last thing FEMA should worry about is protecting the delicate sensibilities of Americans. Maybe we should change their acronym to FEIMA - Federal Emergency Image Management Agency.

Oh the irony.
Chris sniveling about censorship! Too funny.
-Censored
ps - ask Chris where the moniker came from...
From you being a whiny baby?
Luke, that felt like a personal attack. Be careful, they have rules here and they very selctively enforce them. You may find yourself banned or have your comments deleted.

I'm sorry I hurt your tender pschye.
You are so pathetic. Only an idiot would choose such a self-evidently untrue name.
If you don't like our management, start your own blog.
Yikes. Better check the logs before you bet the farm on that one.
Regardless, I do have my own blog. I just don't want it littered up with comments from you.

Now there's an interesting double standard.
YOU have time to blog when you spend much of the day spewing your typer's diarrhea all over this site? Do you work for TCF or something? :)
I don't have the foggiest idea where the moniker came from.
Interesting that you don't project the indignation you obviously feel about something or other to actual censorship.
Ryan,
With all the time I have, you'd figure it was a union job huh?
Chris,
Like much of your memory of history. Very selective.

This may have been the most petty and useless thread I've ever seen. We can all be proud!
