Media censorship by the US Military

Lamest excuse, ever:

A top ranking military official in Afghanistan said photographs or video taken by “untrained people” might “capture visual details that are not as they originally were.”

Why should the military be afraid of a guy and a camera in a public place in a country that is not the United States? Even if they have a legitimate reason, this stinks so badly of the things that our country is supposed to so strongly stand against. Bad message to send to the world. Much worse than the actual images.
