Very good point. If we can show body parts and corpses of those 'killed by smoking,' it seems silly not to show them when they have REALLY been killed...unless, of course, there's some agenda behind it. But that couldn't be it. The media is fair, right?

There is a world of difference between the self-inflicted wounds of smokers and some jerks flying jets into your workplace. While the former might deter some smokers, the full impact of the latter only descends on those who have the will to think "My God!! Those are people jumping off of there!" or "I just saw a lot of people die in that fireball."

The rest will process the pyrotechnics with the same (or more) aplomb as the creature in 'Alien', not focusing on reality at all.

Without slapping America in the face with the harshness of the incident, Americans will do as they are, forget that there are people who doubtlessly would be here inflicting other injury on our public had we not taken the battle to them. If our troops were not providing targets for every terrorist in the Middle East, and dealing with them, then civillians would be dealing with them here. We forget this at our peril.

Well, looks like the mediamasters will get six more chances to change their minds and let the meat see what's really going on.

The butchers that have been brutally decapitatating their victims announced earlier today that they'd kidnapped three more innocents that they'd be killing -- and then later in the day, there was a vehicle bombing, and the bastards kidnapped another three victims.

And meanwhile, Fallujah has become a taliban city-state within Iraq. The media has been pretty damn quiet about that nightmare too. Go figure, eh?
