It was a fundamentally different, instant video vs. delayed print with the potential for thoughtful censorship.

You may disagree, but I believe that the Iraqi executions of Americans will strengthen, rather than weaken our will. A lot of people thought Saddam was a cartoon character villain. After today, the hatred will be personal. If we had waited for some bowlderized, PC, sanitized account released 3 months after the fact, the fact of these men's sacrifice would essentially be in vain.

I think it is good policy for the public to know, within the limits of military security, what is going on.
