Oh, puh-leeze. They will portray the occupation of Iraq as a fascist imperialist bla bla bla war for oil regardless of what is or is not made known to the American people.
I don't want any Marines to have a direct connection to the death of Sites. That would be a tragedy. Now, were he left to his own devices to find a ride out of Falluja without Marine protection, that's a whole nuther matter.

After a while, people tune out verbal and printed rhetoric.
However, a misrepresented photo or video has an extremely powerful emotional effect.
As I noted, before the Abu Grahib photos were leaked, neither the U.S. Liberal media nor even the Arab street paid any attention to reports that the U.S. Army was prosecuting some servicemembers for prisoner abuse at Abu Grahib. After the photos were released, the photos caused a mass hysteria that severely hampered the war effort.
Photos are red meat thrown in front of the Liberal and Islamist pitbulls and, whever possible, it is best to keep the pitbulls on a diet.
