There is no conspiracy - this nation is full of contradictory people - people would complain the media is making a buck off the tragedy if they daily showed 9/11 images over and over again. Others would complain not enough of 9/11 is shown.

There is no media conspiracy to silence 9/11 images.

In Europe unedited images of body parts were shown in newspapers and on television. In America these images were edited because the media (rightly) knows there is an organised censorship element in the country against disturbing images - for the sake of the children of course. You know the censorship for the family's sake's types - they object even to showing 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'Schindler's List' unedited.

You have answered by question I always wondered why FNC, CNN and CBS said on the last anniversary of 911 that they would not show all the graphic details especially those jumping when I had just seen it on BBC/ITV a few minutes earlier.

Whilst I agree that violence for violence sake should not be shown why cannot the American media show it but issue a warning before hand if parents do not want their children to see the images.
