Foreign Journalist Being Told They Cannot Take Pictures Of Bodies

I was just listening to a report from NPR's "To The Point." Sounds like foreign journalist (at least), are being told that they can accompany NOLA rescue teams on missions, but if they are caught taking photo of bodies they will be returned and taken out of the area.

Nice to see that a rescue mission will be scuttled because someone took a picture of a body. Now you can really see where priorities lie.

Take a listen for yoursel, four minutes into the "Making News: Receding Waters Yield Corpses in New Orleans" segment:
