I've done a quick search, and boy do I not like the AP site, looking for anything else on this but can't find a thing. Except a few of the recent articles and discussions.
I'll look around for some more information and post it.
A link came up three minutes, now slightly more, ago:
Pentagon to allow photos of returning war victims' caskets
Defense and congressional officials say news organizations will be allowed to photograph the homecomings of America’s war dead under a new Pentagon policy.
According to this brief announcement it says that Gates will be announcing the policy change later today, 2.26.09!!

As part of one reply to a post I placed a few days ago:
""The private part probably is best handled at the memorial service or funeral if the family wishes, not at the arrival at Dover.""
This is always how it should be. We, myself 'Nam '70-'71, serve the Country and Constitution, a solemn viewing, In Honor, should be the Nations right when the Fallen Arrive at Dover, the rest is the Family and Community.
We have Arrival Ceremonies for those groups returning, and we readily show, even National, the Heartwarming Surprise returns to children's classrooms etc..
The Fallen Deserve To Be Treated In The Same Respect!!
