to Take Photos of her Son's Coffin

AP: "The mother of a soldier killed in Iraq summoned news outlets to
photograph her son's flag-draped casket arriving at Sacramento
International Airport to protest a Pentagon policy banning media
coverage of America's war dead. Nearly a dozen reporters,
photographers and television crews watched as the coffin of Army Sgt.
Patrick McCaffrey, 34, was transferred to a hearse outside an airport
cargo terminal shortly before midnight Sunday, officials said. 'I
don't care what President Bush wants,' his mother, Nadia McCaffrey,
told the Los Angeles Times. Patrick 'did not die for nothing ... The
way he lived needs to be talked about. Patrick was not a fighter, he
was a peacemaker.' McCaffrey said she planned to continue speaking out
against the war. 'This is enough,' she said. 'We have to react.' "
