Yesterday liveleak had a video of part of the wreckage bodies and all. The media has a duty to show the public such things so that we will know the full impact of such events. The suppression of the images of 9-11 has lead to it being mostly forgotten.

Why is it all on Putin’s conscience? Why did our country elect a lip flapper just for the purpose of gay rights, baby killing, medical system destruction, energy destruction, erosion of freedoms, handouts to all, bigotry and other assaults against us?

Why is the so-called leader of the free world a crusader for a bunch of sheyt and not a true leader of this country?

Thank you for that comment.I felt extreme anger at the decision to not to publish the picture, although subsequently, I discovered that the New York Times had published the "offending" image, which was universally criticized, by among others, the Mexican public and its press, which did also publish it, with a prior accompanying caution.

Why my anger? Because the Mexican press published images in 2001 that the American public was prevented from seeing by its nanny government and its mainstream media. To this day. Because they were too "gruesome and disturbing."

I have not met nor known of anyone more squeamish than myself, and yet I wanted to release any reluctance at justification for maximum hate and revulsion at the perpetrators.

Humanity has produced many historical mass murders beyond comprehension, most of them the result of political ideology, including during the 20th century. Some however the result of religious fanaticism.

The baby image in question is respectful and in no way catering to idle curiosity, and it underscores the usually unseen and unknown agony of others. The dead baby is not in any way recognizable by anyone.

But above all else, it reminds us of the daily inhumanity in the world seemingly everywhere, and the inability of the rest of us to produce the outrage necessary, someday to rise up and put a stop to it, by whatever means are necessary.

Yes I was compelled to find the image, view it and not simply dismiss it as another senseless but too common statistic. I felt I owed that much to the unknown child.

I saw those photos.

How did the bodies stay intact as much as they were from a plane crashing from several thousand feet?
