cusack: coffin photo ban 'most cowardly political act'

from raw story: When the Bush administration began enforcing a controversial policy banning photographs of military caskets returning from Iraq, the move provoked outrage - and now, a film - from actor John Cusack, who calls the media ban "one of the most cowardly political acts" of his lifetime.

Appearing on PBS with host Tavis Smiley, Cusack explained that his new movie, Grace is Gone, is the result of a storytelling interest largely inspired by the Bush photo policy.
