>>> Below is the cover letter that the Air Force sent with the CD containing the now-famous Dover coffin photos. When the story became so huge, I decided that I would post it. A lot of people have asked me about this letter, particularly whether the Air Force explained why it reversed its original decision to deny release. Other people are under the misapprehension that the Pentagon released these photos, when actually it was the Air Force.

You can see exactly what the Air Force said it released, the mention of the "surviving family members," the names of the two people apparently most involved in the release of the images, and the lack of any explanation regarding why the original denial was reversed.
