So is it now official policy to show war dead in Iraq?

Now that we are into day two of "let's plaster photos of al-Zarqawi dead" everywhere, does this mean that the military will start showing photos of all missions and the results or is this just cherry picking? Will we be seeing American dead? Iraqi dead? I'm just trying to get this straight because it seemed like only two days ago the military was against photos of the dead and the wingnuts and WH didn't like them because it didn't help their cause. Now that they think they will receive a bump in the polls, dead al-Zarqawi is everywhere.

Since we have hardly seen photos or video of the dead or killing in Iraq, often because of security reasons for the media, it is interesting to note this dramatic change. So how long will this new policy last?
