Thanks for the info.

I agree with your assessment of Americans being treated like babies. I have mixed feelings in some ways because I don't want the victims' families to see their family and friends death be sensationalized or exploited. But I think the images of 9/11 (some of which appeared on the HBO documentary) with bodies falling to the street and other extremely graphic event should be shown more often. I also think that the news should show images of the be-headings and stonings carried about by extremists. People should be warned and given a chance to look away or turn off the TV since some people really cannot take that kind of stuff, but the images should be out there to show what we are really facing as a country. I never want to see those images again. One time is enough, but many people have never seen them and don't really know what has happened.

All 40 of the victim's families approved of the making of the film so I have zero mixed feelings.

In other words, treat them like babies?

One of the people in our office received pictures from a friend in New York via email right after 9/11--like on 9/13. They were taken by the friend, and were shared with the rest of the office. There was a shot of the second plane impacting the tower, and shots of people jumping to their death. I was surprised at the outrage of people in the office when one of the multicultural sensitivity types suggested that those images not be sent out again. The outrage was against the sensitive one, not at the pictures. Many comments such as, "I want to be reminded, I never want to forget what they did." Unfortunately I had a computer crash after I retired and lost those images. Your point is well taken, but the drive by media will never permit any interference with their anti-America limp wrist us down agenda, nor will their handlers in the party.
