Normally after the president gives a TV address, news photographers take pictures of him standing behind the podium. That wasn't allowed after President Bush's Iraq address on Wednesday. "The speech was a very historic speech of news value, and they elected to manage it as a public relations function," says
Dennis Brack, president of the White House News Photographers Association. AP and Reuters refused to use the handout photo (at left).
