How about showing some pictures of the people leaping from the burning towers on 9/11/2001.

Maybe some pictures of the wreckage of the plane in Pennsylvania.

And how about some pictures of the wreckage at the Pentagon and some of the burn victims being pulled from the rubble.

Let's see some pictures of the firemen and policemen pulling their brothers out of the rubble of the WTC.

Why don't they want to show those pictures anymore?

Anymore? They censored most of those pictures from the start. How about the media helping get this war over with instead of prolonging it for a change? Why doesn't anybody talk about them shutting up so we can get the damn job done. This makes me angry so far down deep I can't even express it.

Because that would only incite us to anger and violence towards Muslims, so they say. They can't have that when they want to incite us to anger and violence towards the Bush Administration instead.

This makes me angry. Really, really angry. You hit it right on the money.

For fair and honest reporting, I say, okay. First, we show the images of the actions of the sub-human scum we are up against.

We should show the hostages having their head slowly and deliberately sawed off while the hostages scream in pain and those assholes chant "God is Great". We should show images of the people leaping from the WTC. We should show the mangled parts of bodies the firefighters and rescuers had to put into bags. We should show recreations of Mr. Klinghoffer being shot and thrown off the deck of the Achille Lauro. We should show Navy diver Robert Stethem being shot in the head and being thrown out the back of the plane like a garbage bag. We should show the broken and torn bodies of the victims of the Rome airport bombing. We should show a recreation of the bomb going off in the plane, and people being sucked, alive, out of the fuselage while still strapped in their seats and plummeting to the Mediterrainian below. They should show the children, huddling in terror, being held hostage in a school in Russia, being coldly shot to death. And so on.

Then, and only then, we should could the broken or dying body of one of our soldiers with his face blurred out.

These journalists are anti-American, sick and biased. I am damned tired of it. Boy this really burns my ass.

Or of the Kurds and others, who were brutalized by Saddam and his sweet little friends? Or of the people who were tortured in his prisons? Or of the Kuwaitis before the first Gulf War, that were tyrannized, and brutalized by Saddams troops? Or of the women and men who were executed in the soccer stadiums by the great Osama Bin Laden(sp?) and his little empire in Afghanistan? Or the Afghan women being beaten and pelted with stones, if they dared to leave their homes without a burkha on, or a man with them, even to take a baby to the doctor?

If they're going to crab about not having any gruesome pictures to show us, and scare us into bringing our troops home; they also need to have photos and movies about the treatment of the people of these nations at the hands of their "great, compassionate rulers"! Oh they must!

Seriously, these media figures need to realize that they are only succeeding in influencing weak, squeamish people into going along with them! They are only angering, and insulting the intelligence of other, stronger people! Oh well, I guess if they want to go down the drain, that is their choice.

I guess if that is what they want, is to dwindle down to working their wiles on weak, foolish people, why stop them? They also have no respect for themselves as media entities, or for the families of the troops, or for the weak people who are so easily fooled, or the rest of us who know better!
