Those judges, they always spoil everything...

Score one for freedom of information!

From CNN.com

U.S. District Court Judge Keith Ellison issued a temporary restraining order Friday against a "zero access" policy announced earlier in the day by Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who is overseeing the federal relief effort in the city, and Terry Ebbert, the city's homeland security director.

In explaining the ban, Ebbert said, "we don't think that's proper" to let members of the media view the bodies.

The judge was to consider granting a permanent injunction Saturday when the government announced its decision not to enforce the "zero access" policy.

No one seems to have problems with the media veiwing bodies of crime victims, so what makes this "not proper" (other than fear people might find out how criminally negligent the government was, that is)?

I read somewhere that Sept 12 was supposed to be a National Day of Outrage: justice for Katrina and Iraq victims, but I haven't found out what's supposed to be going on. More details later if I do, or comment if you know anything about it.
