Pentagon officials had said that because 19 of 30 of the American&nbsp; families of the dead had objected to media coverage of the remains&nbsp; coming off a plane at Dover Air Force Base, no images could be taken. In&nbsp; addition, the Pentagon rejected media requests to take photos that&nbsp; showed officials at the ceremony but did not depict caskets.
A White House photographer was allowed to take and widely distribute a&nbsp; photo from the ceremony Tuesday for the return of the remains of 30&nbsp; American troops killed in a weekend helicopter crash in Afghanistan&nbsp; despite the Pentagon’s claim that any public depiction of the scene&nbsp; would violate the wishes of bereaved families.
