Bias Against the Corps?

(Fox News) - The San Francisco Film Commission denied the U.S. Marines permission to film a recruitment ad on city streets during the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. A local TV station reports the head of the commission told the production company it could shoot on the streets only if no Marines were in the picture.

Yet when challenged on the matter Monday — she said that rush hour traffic concerns were behind her actions. The commander of the Police Traffic Bureau says the commission leader's politics have blinded her to her duty.

He points out the commission often grants permission for shoots during rush hour — and that it has previously allowed traffic to be backed up for street demonstrations and anti-war protests.
