Go on a military base and demand your rights. See what happens. You might get to meet some nice Federal authorities, but the people working there are definitly under marshal law. "The military has it's own well controlled propaganda machine, which includes their 'official' photographers and journalists, as well as mainstream media's military pool of journalists. The official military journalists are always privleged above those pool journalists, who are privleged above the independent photographers, videographers, and journalists who do not participate in the military pools." Been that way for some time now. It was worse during WWII when reporters were put in uniform and were under direct military orders. What were you expecting them to do? Yep, there are a lot of photos that the military takes they don't let civilians use. Those 350 were a little different but they weren't intended for any propaganda use. You'd have never seen them (these were for historic purposes and in the long run, we're all dead) if someone hadn't exercised the freedom of information act and someone in the Pentagon hadn't screwed up.
