I'm sure it was far more than a dozen, just consider everyone on the floors above the plane's impact had no way down, and those pictures are only of one small section of a building, how many more were on other sides on how many floors?

I also understand that many were pulled out of those windows when the windows broke, so not all of them jumped. I know that if there were pictures of dead bodies from our bombs there would be no hesitation on the part of most of the news media to show them.

you got that right!

I specifically asked this question to a research associate at work. It took her most of the day, but the next day she told me that OVER 175 people jumped. There is no "official" figures because the ruins make this very difficult. Apparently this figure was derived from a ground count prior to any building collapse, and film recordings. I am told that the margin of error is +/- 25 people which is a very large margin of error.

It had to be way more than a dozen. I've talked to people who worked across the street from the WTC and they said there were bodies of jumpers all over - one was even impaled on a lightpole. Not to mention one hitting the priest. I can't even imagine what had to be going through the minds of the people on the roof of the last WTC building after watching the first collapse. I believe the media should show all photos to keep the outrage alive.

You're absolutely right about the media. I watched with disgust today as CNN implemented its "balance"--five minutes of undiluted Al-Jazeer propaganda and then one three second shot of the crews at Ground Zero. In this ham-handed mind control manuver, they will create a reaction that our bombs are doing more civilian damage than the terrorists did, because the shot of Ground Zero never changes. This, of course, is exactly the result CNN wants.
