Woman loses job over coffins photo that appeared in paper

Seattle Times

Tami Silicio, a Kuwait-based cargo worker whose <http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/EnlargePhoto.pl?MediaUseId=2001906490&NewsURL=>photograph of flag-draped coffins of fallen U.S. soldiers ran last Sunday in the Seattle Times, has been fired for violating U.S. government and Maytag Aircraft regulations. Silicio says she hoped publication of the photo would help soldiers' families understand the care and devotion that civilians and military crews dedicate to the task of returning the soldiers home, reports Hal Bernton.
