What is the name of the act that the Bush administration passed to grant deceased U.S. soldiers more privacy?

Asked by Plone3000 (668points) November 30th, 2011

My teacher said that George W. Bush passed an act that made it prohibited or illegal for the media to show dead soldiers on the news, is this true? One example is how during the Vietnam War news channels showed much more graphic images than our more recent wars. Many people argue that this is because the war in the Middle East has gone on for much longer, but even during the beginning of the Iraq war I do not recall seeing such desterbing images. So, please, what is the name of this act?
