It is most disingenuous (to put it politely) of editors to assert that the images are not needed in their stories because they do not especially add anything.

I disagree.

The important "news" in the images themselves is that they are so mild, so INoffensive. A very significant part of the story now is that American print media -- so prideful in its fearless determination to tell all "without fear or favor" -- has been massively intimidated off its lofty perch. People need to see for themselves that this whole bruhaha has much the character of American "street culture" which is always justifying infantile rage on the basis of having been "dissed."

The people need to be able to judge for themselves whether these images are so profoundly offensive or whether bold editors are just running scared.

Excellent Point

The cartoons are the story. Does anyone believe if they weren't dealing with such a PC and lethal group as the Mohammedans the cartoons wouldn't be published?
